Can you pleas review this build?
I haven't picked a PSU because I wasn't sure what I need.
Another question is the video card. Should I buy the selected one or should I wait for the STRIX-GTX980-DC2OC-4GD5 or any other?
If you have plans to SLI that card in the future you could bump it up a little.
On a different note, you could probably save some money on the mobo. That particular one is honestly a little excessive, but it does look nice and does what you need it to if it's the looks you're going after.
Beast of a card. You went with the reference model which some people advise against vs buying one with an aftermarket cooler on it but they look sleek as hell.
Your biggest problem with the card is that it's currently sold out, but you can supposedly preorder it for when it becomes available again.
