I want to know if this build is good for the price and such.

Your PSU is hugely over the top, you only need 600w, even sli would be ok with 800w

Good build but I would change a couple of things...

-No need for such a powerful PSU, even if you ran SLI and OC you only really need a 750W.

-Price/performance the GTX 970 is a better choice, plus if you decide to SLI the performance will be slightly better then the GTX 980ti.

-WD Black would be a better storage drive over the Seagate.

Everything else is good.

Can you recommend a good 80+ gold modular PSU?

Also do you think the deluxe mobo is a bit over kill?

(Read post below). I would go with the EVGA G2 850W 80+ but there are plenty of other quality models that will work. Anything that is from the Tier 1 or 2 at 750W+.

Actually the MB is a bit too much, I would switch it to the Asus Z170-A.

Changing around a few parts I was able to make a faster build with the same amount of storage and a better PSU with enough power for SLI and OC. And its cheaper!

Do you think there would be a BIG performance jump If I went with the 980? I plan on usuing this pc mainly for gaming so.

Well in your current list your using the GTX 980 4gb, the GTX 980 ti 6gb is a massive performance increase for the additional $150, well worth it IMO.
