boom great pc including everything
mouse and keyboard are great
asus makes good monitors
i5 and overclockable
980 will max out everything at 1080p
sdd + hdd
throw in a 980 in the future and game at 4k (motherboard and psu will support it)

how if I change the geforce gtx 980 to 970. i saw in most benchmark that 980 performance not worth for the extra 200 bucks. what do you think? if its okay then i would spend the rest for samsung 850 pro 500 gb. is it worth it? cause samsung 850 is the best in its class.

the ssd is only a boot drive and not really a neccesity
don't go 970, because when you sli, it can't handle 4k due to a memory bug issue, i'll explain

the memory in the 970 is 4 GB, but it is split into 2 portions. a 3.5 GB one and a .5 GB one. the 3.5 GB one is used normally at its bandwidth speed of 196 GB/s. the other .5 Gb can only be used at 19 GB/s. much slower. thanks to this issue, if you sli, it still will not be able to handle 4k. the 980 does not have this issue and when sli'ed, will handle 4k very well.

motherboards, the onlyl thing that separates then is features. the only thing that asus rog series motherboards have over msi is probably lights and a higher price tag. a "gamer" item is usually overpriced
