sounds good... i spent extra on mobo for SLI support for an upgrade path is all and yeah the 500b would be fine was just targeting the semi modular aspect but yeah you could drop down to the 500b with out any issues other than extra wires to deal with

the 980 strix is 180 bucks more than the evga 970 superclocked but like i said looking at longevity and in a year or 2 adding a second 980 would be about a 40% improvment over going with a second 970

i like your build DnD but its on a dated platform... someone who is trying to stick to budget doesnt wanna be out of date as soon.... and the upgrade path for the 170 platform will be longer that upgrade path on the z97. your build is great for someone who is going to wanna jump up the whole platform in a year or so when the next wave of gear comes out

here is my recomended part list... throw the parts into your site to see final cost... i got a mobo that supports SLI since i think being able to add a second card later as an upgrade path is worth the extra cash.

here gimme a second... i cant read any of the stuff in the list you posted... im gona do a parts list that i think will work great for you.... might have to translate final cost though

if your not going to overclock then you can get a mobo that wont need that ability and you can save on the cpu as well.... those savings can go right into a 980 lol

holy junk.... now thats a promo code.. lol guess we know what route I am going.... that asus router and modem together is only going to cost me 160 bucks. unless you have some promo magic for the modem too? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16825390001

better but id step back to the msi board and get the aftermarket aircooler

this should be fine for your build to be honest its 400KR less which would go a long way twards a better GPU http://www.inet.se/produkt/6900025/evga-500b-500w#/specs

i agree with DND better card ... you also dont need 650 watts for your build but not sure what exactly is available where you are
