pageloss. Any suggestions for this list?
Get a less ridiculous motherboard, perhaps the ASUS motherboard just below it, drop that overpriced RAM and get some less "lol enthusiast!!!111" modules, get a less overkill PSU and put the savings towards something else. I don't really know what since I don't personally agree with SLI or Crossfire, though your opinion may vary. I feel like you're spending far far far more money on those components than you need to, I might just be out of touch with the American PC parts market but I definitely feel like you're going to be burning money for no reason with this build.
Edit;
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Tokthree/saved/WMVfrHI toned back some of your choices to less needlessly excessive modules (For example you can't even run 2666 RAM at full speed if you want to overclock your CPU, most people suggest to run RAM no higher than 1600 or 1866 when overclocking i5's and i7's, Bisjac may say I'm spouting bullstuff since he probably knows far more about overclocking than I do but I'm just applying what I've read in overclocking guides for the newer i5's and i7's) and managed to save enough money to throw in another GTX 980 at just $60 over budget, I know that you said that your budget was no higher than $2800 but I'm just trying to do what I can.
I swapped out your SSD choice for a smaller one for one major reason; Maximum IOPS before failure, for me at the very least I am so afraid of killing my SSD before even managing to get a year out of it that I've only used about 113GB of 250GB and I've also done registry edits so that the default program install directory is on my storage HDD and all of my temporary file locations (which get written to a LOT) are also on my HDD, all I have on my SSD is my OS and a few games and that's really all I need. I also swapped your single 3TB HDD for two 2TB HDD's, this gives you 1TB more storage space and some level of file security. I have the exact same storage set-up in my PC and what I do is install my games and programs to my main HDD and keep all my media (recordings, artwork, things I generally don't want to lose if I can help it) on the secondary HDD with some backups of the most important stuff on my primary HDD, this way I'm not completely screwed if one of them fails.
The storage thing is mostly my personal preference but I really feel it's the best way to go about things without sinking huge amounts of money and time into a RAID array.
