I am looking to build my first PC and at the moment I am having trouble picking parts. My budget is about 2500$

I am going to get MasterCase 5 Pro for sure 

For motherboard i am thinking about getting Asus Maximus VIII Hero Alpha or Asus Sabertooth z170 mark 1

Cpu-intel skylake i7 6700k 

Gpu-Asus matrix 980 ti platinum

For power supply I have no idea :D

Monitor-Acer XB270HU

I will use pc mostly for gaming.
