Replace the 980 with a 390X and replace the RM PSU with a SeaSonic or XFX unit.

it looks good, upgrade the CPU to the skylake i7 if you can afford it without sacrificing that powerful GPU you've selected...otherwise leave it as is.

I have that psu and i would recommend something like one of the evga, the case is great on that for sure, and just get the cpu that fits best for your budget i would go with skylake but just because it is newer so if the price is a lot higher jut get the 4690k.

I run my own indie game company called Color Dragon Studios where we are currently making a 2d platformer game called Small Earth.

This is much better than what you had planned...everything on this build is top notch stuff...only the SSD is not as good but it's cheaper so you can still go with the samsung you've picked which is wicked fast:

@i_build_nanosuits I think i will also need a Optical Drive to install OS windows 10! What do you recommend?

the cheapest one that can read bluerays, the case i've selected do support 1 optical drive.

and yes windows 10 home 64bits is perfect

downgrade to a GTX 980 is this end up being too expensive, upgrade to 6700K on the other hand if you want to blow more money on it.

this i5 will get the job done though...i would recommend leaving it has is.
