This gaming pc will be great for high-ultra 1080p gaming and sadly is NOT very upgradeable due to the am3+ platform getting outdated.

The better CPU and GPU will be great for this build

You can change the description in the last 3 or 4 to "ultra 4k gaming"

 

(and for the love of everything in the 1400$ one use two R9 290Xs instead of a 980  :wacko:)

why 290x cards? id need to bump up the psu

Because you can get two for cheaper than a single 980. And two of those completely destroy a 980. And 750 watts are enough, even though just barely (getting 850 wouldn't be much more expensive anyway).

no 2 290x cards fit into a $523.99 budget ;(

spare a little money on the cpu cooler or the case. Overclocking your cpu won't give you nearly as much more performance as 2 290Xs would. Or just go with R9 290s instead, they still completely rek a 980.

but isnt a single card better in the long run than 2?

In what way? Sure, there's a little less maintenance required and you need to mess with drivers a little bit more, but the issues that were tied to dual gpu configurations are almost completely gone. No more stuttering, dramatically better scaling, and more. Simply put, it makes no sense to buy a 980 that will give you 10% more performance than a single 290X for almost twice the price. For little more than that money you can get two 290Xs and 70% more performance than a 980. Math doesn't lie, 980s make no sense in their price range.
