Please dont get the RM1000 the bad ripple will cause coil whine on your graphics card.

I will have to probably replace my RM if I want to use the 980 Ti that I have been sent from NVIDIA. It feels  lonely :(

Get a 240 ssd instead, unless you like me have a laptop on the side which is able to have all of your work/school programs and files on it.

 

The powersupply is wayyyyy overkill. I can highly recommend mine: EVGA GQ 650W 80+Gold

 

its almost fully modular(except for 24 pin) but its sleeved out of the box, and has a amazing fan(very silent) + great amps on the 12v rail(and of course, its really cheap!)

 

Dont get the v300 ssd aswell, its a lowgrade controller. The corsair force LS series are really good units, and they're also cheap, maybe even cheaper.
