Sorry. I am only limited to what I have in my country. If I had more options, I might have came up with a better one. =(

For a gaming PC the i5 and 8 gb ram is enough any thing more will not give better performance the gtx 980 is better than gtx 780 ti plus consumes less power the psu you have chosen is good for gtx 980 but low for gtx 780 ti .

 

[LukaBoki]

The 980 isn't worth the price increase over the 970.

 

[prit87]

The gtx 980 is much better than gtx 970.

 

[LukaBoki]

I agree on that,but it's stronger by about 12% and it's 50% more expensive.
