looks pretty good. I would always suggest a SSD and a larger HDD

I would but i don't want to go much more over my budget... should I go for a 970 instead?

I usually game at 1080p 60fps so downgrading would be fine for me but its all up to personal opinion ... you dont really need the storage. Its just nice to have

I would say that is a VERY good idea, go for either a 970 or a 390 to save a few bucks.  You have a good monitor, but with it being only 1080p, it would be overkill to get a 980.  I personally can run BF4 @ all ultra @ 1080p usually above 90FPS with my 390 and 4690k (neither are OC'd).  I would do that and then get an SSD and stick with your HDD, (again, I have a 1tb Segate in my rig for storage and a 240GB SSD for boot+ main games)

You don't need a 980 for 1080p. A 390 will max out most games at 60fps. I added an SSD and changed the PSU.

I'd personally go with a R9 390 8GB. You could buy a 390 + SSD instead of the 980.

Why not go pro with Windows 10 Pro edition? It's a sound build
