Pretty damn nice, only thing I see as a slight issue is the 3TB Seagate Barracuda which have known to be less reliable. But should be fine :P

Cool, but you could easily make do with 750/less on the power supply, and have you considered going skylake?

I'd drop the hard drives and pick up a 3 or 4TB HGST NAS drive. they're pretty awesome (I have a 3TB), cheap, and are good for more than just NAS.

With one 980ti the thing will draw like 400W of power so cut down the PSU to an EVGA 550 G2.

|PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.

1) Are you only gaming with this build?

2) Are you looking into streaming or rendering?

 

If you're looking at doing #2 then your build is fine
