Well, why not?

Do you really plan on getting 3x 980Tis and a few HDDs/SSDs? While all overclocked? Thats what a 1200w PSU is for. Get a 850w EVGA GS/G2 or any 800w + SeaSonic or XFX PSU and that can easily handle 980Ti in SLI and everything overclocked.

Everything seems overkill, especially the PSU and RAM. What's your budget and your intended use?

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

I will upgrade the system down the line by adding more GPUs!

Overkill in some areas, as well as pointless.

 

Don't get those SSD's, they're known for being about as fast as an HDD.
 

You have 4, I'm assuming you're thinking RAID0? Again, pointless for 90% of systems. You lose a great deal of reliability, for little to no noticeable performance.

 

That PSU is more than you need for your system, honestly you could get way with something half that powerful. You see absolutely no benefit from getting one capable of more watts, except perhaps a longer warranty.

 

The Dominator memory is often over priced for what it is. You can get something else, but if you like the aesthetics and don't mind the premium price it's good RAM.

 

What features make you want the WS board?

 

go EVGA or Seasonic on PSU, 

IIRC that PSU is actually quite good.

 

Well, why not?

It's a waste and a poor appropriation of funds.

Any other storage options that would be better?

Done. You can't really upgrade from here. Added in AIO liquid cooler, 1TB SSD, two 980Tis. It's overkill but it's a much better value build than what you initially had.

It is still a useless part of the build. 3x SLI is not needed and isn't very good. 850w is just fine for just about any thing most people will be doing on there PC
