Isn't that a bit overkill on the hard drive lol?
Looks like a good build I'm not sure on the psu though.

No CPU cooler? You won't be overclocking much on stock cooler. If you're not overclocking, the CPU and mobo are a waste. Get a cheaper motherboard and a Xeon instead, if you're not overclocking. 980 isn't really worth it's price tag since the 970 is a slightly underclocked 980 basically. 8 thread CPU is also overkill for gaming, if it's a gaming PC you're building, i5 will do. 16GB is more than enough for gaming, 8GB would suffice. Have that case, it's nice, would definitely recommend it.

Might as well get rid of that 8.1 system and just get it for free instead of paying $90. Get a CPU cooler too especially with the cpu you have.

I'd change up the power supply to something a bit more efficient and it'll run quieter for sure.

Unless you are going to be gaming at 1440P+ The 980 is generally a waste and you'd be better of with a 970.
Note: I went with a air cooler as it be quieter than a AIO.
