The GTX 980 Ti should be able to handle any modern game at 1440p easily and several at 4K. It should blaze through them at 1080p. So you've got nothing to worry about -- it's the single best card on the market right now IMHO.

Hi Davideazy.....  Real nice build. Strong

My only recommendations would be to change the Seagate HDD to the Western Digital Black for another $19.   A better drive with longer warranty.

Change the default cx750M for the EVGA 750W Supernova.  Another $30 but you get a 10 year vs 3 year warranty and a Gold vs Bronze rated box.  

Hope this helps and good luck. Big%20Smile
