Looking to make the jump into 4k gaming (above is my best guess at an affordable-ish build) im committed to the 980ti on this build but i have concerns about possible bottlenecking from the rest of the system. My budget is around 1.5k USD with some wiggle room. Not a very experieced builder so any advice or tips on parts would be greatly appreciated 

thanks

You definitely don't want that CX PSU, with such a gaming rig.

Go for anything Seasonic/XFX, EVGA G2/B2 or Antec High Current Gamer.

You can get WIndows off G2A or /r/microsoftsoftwareswap.

 

Newegg's youtube channel has good tutorials on how to build a PC.

 No OC'ing, better SSD, better PSU that allows for SLI later if you choose :3 And a smaller, quieter case.

Bottleneck will not be your issue. But, you will need a better PSU, cuz CX is not so good. Get a Seasonic

Yis. If you are willing to save up for longer, then I'd support you getting the Unlocked CPU, get the Z170 motherboard, and get a liquid cooler that isnt 120mm .w. or a noctua highend fan.
