Biebs wrote No, those Amazon links are wrong. The PSU is a G1, which is shit. It's a GS or G2 unit you want, not the G1, especially when the G1 unit is more expensive. The motherboard is also wrong.This RAM:
Everything else is fine though. As you're going with a black/red colour scheme, you can get the RAM in red. It's actually a bit cheaper to get the red version of that RAM on Amazon, just FYI, so you might want to grab the red kit instead.
This is the motherboard you want to be getting;

550W is more than enough for an i5 and a single 980Ti, so you don't need to spend the extra on the 650W unit, unless you want peace of mind and don't mind spending a bit extra. Oh, and since you're not overclocking, you don't need to get that cooler. You'll be fine with something a bit cheaper since you're running at stock speeds anyway.

I'd take the C1, personally. It's a nice wee cooler, will do the job well and look nice in your rig.

That's the one. Just if you'd prefer a bit more red. The Vengeance LP RAM is really nice IMO, and it'll look good in your rig in black, or red, but the red is a bit cheaper anyway and it's what I'd go with. Also, I would definitely be looking in to 1440p, at the least with this rig.

Also an off topic question, how do you send your links like that? Mine just says the link and yours just says 550w ect..

When you link a URL, you can choose a title instead of having the entire URL displayed. Just looks a little neater when the URL is pretty long.
As for monitor, I'd grab a Dell U2515H. You can pick one up for about £250, which is still a great price for a 1440p panel. That Asus panel might be alright, I'm not too sure.

I am getting a SSD with my build and keeping my current HDD and here is where my question comes in.

Prices will definitely change in 4 months. It'd be best to leave this topic alone and make one when you are ready to build one.
