Very nice Rig, if you going to get a SLI on future just use a higher PSU, if not, you are on fire with that rig. enjoy

You might want to take better quality PSU. Like this one: http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=220-G2-0750-XR
Better PSU has a longer life span, is more efficient, and has lower risk of setting your house on fire.

750W is unnecessary, and having too much extra watts is not good, since it leads to inefficiency. That 650W from EVGA is good enough.

If you want to check out Tom's Hardware's PSU tier list, I'll link it here.

And you have picked non overclockable CPU. If you want to overclock your cpu, you should pick i5 6600k. Also, aftermarket CPU cooler would be a good idea (if overclocking), like (budget option) hyper evo 212.

Got you a 6600K and a 980ti, Never thought it was gonna fit :L

 

[Qenetor]

So you decided to upgrade to 980 ti from 980? And you don't need to buy the overclockable edition. If you are going to OC, then go for it, if not then stay with the 6500. And that seems to be unmodular PSU, meaning that you can't take off excess cables.

Nothing like a little tuck-and-fold won't fix haha.

Though I suppose you can invest a little bit more on a modular one, This should be good.

It is good.

And the 6600K is a nice thing to have, and since it can be overclocked to help fix bottleneck issues in the future and that it fits in the budget. Why not?

All up to OP's friend though.
