These are my spec:
i7 3770 3.4ghz
12GB ram
Motherboard Gigabyte B75M-D3V
Corsair Carbide Series® SPEC-02 Red LED Mid-Tower Gaming Case
PSU: Theramltake Toughpower 650W 80+ gold certified

I am mainly concerned about the msi gtx 980 GPU supporting my motherboard and fitting in my case.

Your MB/case will be compatible to the msi gtx980, the PSU review is fine, http://www.pcillo.com/ttaketough650.html and the gtx980 will fit into the SPEC-02 Red because the case can support up to 420mm GPU http://www.corsair.com/en/carbide-series-spec-02-red-led-mid-tower-gaming-case One more thing you may consider that is the sata ports, because the dual slot GPU may or may not block the sata ports, if it does and you need buy the angle sata cable, either left side-angled or right-angled, like http://www.startech.com/Cables/Drive/SATA/18in-SATA-to-Left-Side-Angle-SATA-Serial-ATA-Cable~SATA18LSA1 or http://www.startech.com/Cables/Drive/SATA/24in-Right-Angle-SATA-Cable~SATARA24
