Hope you'll keep your current machine around for tests though. Otherwise every review you make will say the same thing: "Runs perfectly at 4k on highest settings." ;)

MID-TOWER cases are not good for GTX980Ti you may need a bigger one.
I prefer Thermaltake cases and Therlmaltake level 10 is recommended :)
Everything else looks fine unless you want to go a bit extreme and get another ssd for Raid0 ;)
