Interesting. I would love to get 980 but the price in nz means more by 300 bucks. HOwever with your advice would consider gewtting one. Would having that cpu and 980 be a better setup?  For graphics card which one is better in terms of branD. ie asus , gigabyte or EVGA?  Lol my pc graphics card at the moment is teh 1gb variant of GTX 460 XD . Thats ancient. lol. I checked df and both cards do well in 1080p but yeah i have to consider the newer games down the track like witcher 3 .  With 980 would a 500 PSU be sufficeint or do i have to get slightly higher?

 

Thanks ofr this advise :) as i am a noob at pc building lol

A 4790k or 4770k with a 980 is pretty much the best setup you can currently get without overdoing it. 980 is the fastest single GPU on the market and a 4770k will always have enough power. Especially considering that DX12 is on the horizon, which will conserve the CPU even more.

The brands are not really that important. Just read a few reviews and see which one is the most quiet and has the highest clock. There are noticeable power differences with custom cards. I'm personally a fan of ASUS and their cooling but there are other great cards as well. Palit Super Jetstream, MSI Gaming 4G and EVGA Superclocked ACX 2.0 are all great models for the 980.

For your setup even a 400W PSU would be plenty enough. Nvidia's newer GPUs are all insanely power efficient with maxwell being the current record holder in efficiency. 500 is a good middleground. Don't cheap out too much on the PSU. A bad PSU can literally burn your house down. I'm a big fan of beQuiet but others are fine as well.
