My suggestion. Better performance than the gtx 980 on a lot of games and much much cheaper. Also way more vram. Doesn't seem like you want to overclock, so dropped the processor to a locked one with a good price. Switched to a more up-to-date color co-ordinated mobo. Switched to a better quality ssd and added hdd.
