Is this a decent build?

I'm building my first PC and am looking at spending around £1000, which I have managed to do. post-232216-0-42700000-1432918655_thumb.

Was just wondering what the LTT community thought :)

Specs:
CPU: i5 4790k 3.5gz (possible to overclock)

CPU Cooler: Raijintek Themis Direct Contact CPU Cooler

GPU: EVGA 980 Superclocked
Memory: 8gb Cosair Vengeance 

Storage: 2x Kingston Hyper X 120gb SSD, 1tb HDD
PSU: Cooler Master B700

Case: NZXT Source 530

Case Fans: Assortment of Corsair Air Series Quiet Edition (SP140s and AF120s)

Hopefully this is the correct place to put this, this is my first time on any forums, would appreciate any feedback (Get it? No? Okay :'( )
Note: The PSU, one SSD and HDD are to be carried over from my current machine. Also, at a later date, I will be looking at getting a curved 21:9 3440x1440p display, probably from LG

 

Edit: Okay, when I say decent, I meant to say "Am I making the right choices with what I am buying". I really should have been more clear xD

No, it is not decent, it is great!

I would go for a 850 Evo for your ssd, and an Evga G2 750w for your psu.

Then the Asus Strix 980, or MSI Gaming 4 980 to match your color scheme.

 

Enjoy! :D

Edit: Didn't read the whole carrying over thing. Lol.

Quote my post if you need me to respond.

I can't believe I was blind to the MSI 980 xD I'll blame it on the fact that the original mobo was going to be black and gold (it was a decently cheap bundle) and so I needed something either plain black or with gold accents to match and then when I found the current mobo I never thought about it, thanks :)
