Need help build my very 1st PC.

[DIYNoob]

Hi,
I am not experienced with PC's. I have been researching for a few months and after have carefully selected my components. Could someone tell me what I could change or if everything is perfect as this PC is very expensive. I want it to be future compatible ( i.e i want to able to upgrade down the road) Could someone please point out what can be changed :-
i7 4790k - Chose this as this is a powerful processor that will last for at least 5 years
Corsair H100i GTX - This is to keep my CPU cool as i might want to OC my CPU in the future
EVGA SC+ GTX 980 Ti - A good powerful graphics card which i might SLI in a few years.
24 GB Kingston HyperX White - I originally planned on 16 GB but I had ~ 50 dollars to spare
MSI Z97 SLI Krait Edition - A black and white motherboard to match the rest of my PC
Phanteks Enthoo Luxe White - A good functional case
Lite On DVD Drive

Could Someone take look at this please?
Appreciate any help.

Not bad for a first build!

I'm not sure about Phanteks cases personally, however. I'm not sure how good they are for cooling and such. I have an NZXT Phantom 410, and it is amazing. It's easy to build in, comes with 3 fans to keep your computer cool, and has removable bays inside.

Other than that, I see nothing wrong with it.

Where is the power supply?

I suggest you do a skylake build and start with a current generation.
A i7-6700K is as good as it gets today.
Most any Z170 ATX motherboard will do. Currently, I like Asus or Gigabyte as brands.
skylake 14nm needs no exotic cooling. A simple tower type cooler with a 120 or 140mm fan will do the job.

24gb is a strange size, creating 24gb out of mixed kits will not be supported.
Buy a 2 x 8gb supported kit. speed is not important.

Whatever you do, buy a ssd for windows. 240gb minimum, 500gb for the long term.
Add a hard drive for storage later if you want.

If you are planning on GTX980sli later, buy a quality 850w psu up front.
(I might expect that in the future, replacement with a single stronger graphics card will be more attractive than sli)
Seasonic is excellent, but there are others.
Here is one list:

*facepalm*

How did I not notice that? I don't see a hard drive either.

Oops, must have missed that, The power supply is a EVGA 650 P2 and the storage will be 480 GB of SSD and 2 TB of WD Black

Already decided on a power supply it is an EVGA 650w P2 and i already have 480 GB of SSD and 2TB of WD Black. I can't afford a Skylake build here in India. I had $50 to spare so i considered an extra 8 gigabyte module of ram.
