My first build

Hello, right now i have a gtx 550Ti and a core i5-2310 processor and 4 gigs of ram, so i thought it was an upgrade time since it cant run games very well, here are the components i chose:

Graphics: Asus STRIX GTX 980 DC2OC 4GB

Processor: Intel core i7-4790K 8mb cache up to 4.4 GHz

Motherboard: Asus Maximus VII Hero

RAM: HyperX Kingston 8gb (2x)

Harddrive: Western digital 2 TB SATA III 64mb cache

Power supply: Gigabyte 650 Watt CZ-EFS65A-C3

Case: Fractal Design Define R5 Titanium Window

CPU cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H80i liquid cooler

Fans: Corsair case fan 140mm quiet edition RED LED

Operating system: Windows 8.1

Optical drive: ASUS SDRW-08D2S-U LITE Black

Since it is my first time building a pc (the last one was a pre-built one) i have a few questions:

1. Is the gigabyte 650 Watt power supply powerful enough to power this system?

2. Does the CPU cooler need a resevuar and if not then, do i have to fill it with water or is it already filled?

3. Do all these components go together like, power vise and connections and do all the cables needed come with the componets already?

I know im a noob at building since it´s my first time, but can someone help me with these questions?, Thanks in advance!

1. I think it is enough but I would pick another power supply probably a seasonic one or maybe the corsair CS600M

2. Its a closed liquid cooling unit, it means that you dont have to add or change anything except for the fans (if you want to)

3. The cables for the power come from the psu and the sata ones come with the motherboard.

 

Have a nice day :)

BaconMaster, you were really helpful, i have a few more questions:

Does the cpu cooler need thermal paste or is it already installed?

Is the Corsair CS650M ATX Modular power supply good?

Thanks. I think that your cpu cooler comes with the thermal paste already installed. Regarding the power supply, yes it is a good power supply. Take a look to this review. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&file=print&reid=366
