One last check for my build (for a game PC)

[ifyouhavetoask]

I'm just being extra cautious before I start laying out the cash for this stuff.
I was told my GPU will not be bottlenecked by the rest of the system (such as the motherboard and CPU), but I still have a hint of doubt about it.

If anyone could make a first time builder feel more confident in this build, I'll be very grateful.
When you comment, could you keep in mind that I only have rudimentary knowledge about the parts, and the concept of bottlenecking is difficult for me to detect. So please be thorough if you can.
Thanks for any advice I can get.

I think you're good in general. Your build looks like you have the ability
for overclock and yet as is it should perform really well.

I'm a big fan of the i5-4690K and have yet to find a situation where my
upgrade to an i7-4790K has had a noticeable effect. Granted the machine
is on light duty atm.

When everyone get up I think you will get some advice on individual parts
that would be better choices over the specific ones you have chosen for
reliability, expansion, upgrade and so on.

The other thing is to detail the specific games you want to play at what
settings. Good luck. Don't forget to watch a few assembly videos so
everything is familiar and easy in your mind.

Looks good except for the PSU. The RM series isn't very good quality wise(tier 3) and are overpriced. The EVGA GS is a much better PSU(tier 1) and it costs less.

However you dont need 650w a good 550w PSU would be fine for a single 980 and 4690k.
If you think you may add a 2nd 980 is SLI later then go with a larger unit like the the 850w GS(still cheaper than the RM)
