650W, X99 takes quite a lot more power than Z97 so I'd take a 650, 850W-1000W for SLI 980

So for the CPU, motherboard, graphics card, drives (HDD+SSD) and Fans will 800watts will be enough? And/or will there be room for future upgrades or overclocks? And can someone tell me which high end power supply to get something from Corsair perhaps. Thanks.

650W will be enough, 800W is kind of in the middle of no where. Will you ever go SLI?

 

I wouldn't go Corsair, their PSUs are either underperforming, overpriced or both.

650W is enough, trust me. Shops will try to sell you higher wattage, of course they will to make money :)
 

 

For SLI - 850W-1000W

No SLI - 650W

No, 650W for everything

@AliveGhost13 Thanks bro :) & @valdyrgramr so you're saying 650 is enough for my setup? What about if I buy 700/750 will that damage anything in anyway? Also if I buy that will it just use the power that it needs? Also if anyone knows how many watts does each of my component uses?

Buying more than needed won't damage it in any way, but it will just draw what it needs.  The more power the more the PSU will cost usually.  If you are planning to get an SLI you could always get an 850-1500 PSU now rather than just buying a lower one to hold you over if you have the funds to do so.  Modern PSUs go by an EE code system of bronze, silver, gold, and platinum.  The most reliable PSUs are said to be Seasonics, but they can cost more due to that.  If you are fine with getting a Seasonic style durability but are fine with bronze EE, I'd suggest the Azza Titan now since I believe you said you plan to SLI.  It's a 1000w, durable, and can handle a 980 2-way SLI just fine.  http://www.amazon.com/Titan-1000-Watt-Bronze-Supply-PSAZ-1000A14/dp/B004YCJAEM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1432927977&sr=8-1&keywords=azza+titan  However, if you want to star lower like at 650-750 you could always go with something like this...http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-ATX12V-Supply-110-B1-0750-VR/dp/B00K85X23O/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1432928036&sr=8-3&keywords=750+psu or http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-ATX12V-Supply-120-G1-0650-XR/dp/B00K85X2AW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1432928090&sr=8-2&keywords=650w+psu  What you should consider is what your final plans are for this, and the investment as well as how much you have to put in this now.  If you can get the SLI ready PSU like an Azza Titan 1000w[only good Azza others tend to be crappy it's what I use for my 280x crossfire], XFX 850-1500, Corsair 850-1500, EvaG 850-1500, or a Seasonic 850-1500w.  As for the EE that's up to you bronze is fine, but higher can help save a little off your power bill.

 

The B1 and NEX aren't very good.

Personally from what the other person said I'd avoid that one.  If you want a 750 gold go with this, http://www.amazon.com/XFX-Single-Modular-Certified-P1750BBEFX/dp/B00B88Z314/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1432939977&sr=8-1&keywords=xfx+750w+gold

 

The G2 is actually the better one, made by SuperFlower - the NEX and G1 are the one's to avoid :)
