Hello.

My motherboard is a Gigabyte z87-hd3 and I have 2 Hard Drives as well as an SSD. Am I able to add 2 more SSD's?

Also, will I be able to use a gtx 980 with this motherboard? I currently have a 760 and an i7 4770k as well as 16gb ram so I was thinking of upping my psu from 750w to 1000w.

Please advise me, I'm dreadfully inexperienced! Thanks.

Your psu should be fine with your build. The limiting factor is how many connectors available you have on your psu and if your psu can power it.
For a single gpu build your psu should be fine.
Yes. You can add more SSDs if you have enough space for them and enough SATA data and SATA power cables.
Yes you can use a GTX 980 on that motherboard.
No you don't need a 100W for a single GTX 980 build. A decent 650W psu is fine.
What 750W psu do you have?

I have a Corsair 750w currently. I have all the cables I need, I just don't know how to add them nor what the limiting factor of how many you can have. Any chance you could help me please?
