I was going to upgrade to the x99 platform but after realizing that the x99 platform doesent really add that much to the gaming experience, i decided to stay with the x79 platform. Although i decided to stay with the x79 platform i am still upgrading and doing a face lift to my whole build. Basically im giving my old build to my brother. I just want to know if this new build of mine is going to be ok and without any bottlenecks. Here we go;

Old Build;

i7 3820 LGA 2011 3,6Ghz Quad Processor
Asus P9x79 Pro Motherboard
Zotac GTX680 2gb AMPedition Graphics Card
4x4gb Corsair Vengance 1600Mhz Ram Kit
Corsair H100i Cooler
Corsair 850w HX power supply
Cooler Master Haf X914 Black Edition Case

New Build;

 

i7 4930K LGA 2011 Hexa Core Processor
Asus Sabertooth TUF X79 Lga 2011 Socket
2 x EVGA GTX980 SC ACX 2.0
4 x 4GB Kingston HyperX Beast DDR3 2133MHz CL11 XMP RAM

Cooler Master Nepton 280L CPU Cooler

Cooler Master V Series V1000 1000w Psu
Corsair Obsidian 750D Case

Bearing in mind that this is only and only for high end gaming, is there something that i am doing wrong or could do better?

I'm by no means an expert in PSU calculation, but I think you can get away with one with less power.
