First time building with 980 (budget)

[Pro_Tactics]

Would this work fine with a msi gtx 980. My budget is 1450 cad. Feel free to make any adjustments

Why such a beast powersupply for this build? are you planning to SLI in the future? 750W is a lot for this

Your system will bottleneck at HDD access. Add a Samsung 850 evo SSD for your primary OS drive and your system performance will increase dramatically. And ajhocky3 has a point - the PSU is a good quality pick but is more W than you need.

Would 600w and a 120gb SSD be fine?
