Hey guys, I am going to be ugprading my gpu to get more fps and to play and watch movies in 3d in the future. I saw that the 980 came out and I saw some really good benchmarks and its in my price range. I didnt build my pc, I bought it on a website where you can choose the parts and they assemble it for you, because of this I am not really sure how adding parts works.
I am sure I can figure out how to place a gpu but I was wondering if there are any special cables you need to use to connect it to the psu or anything. Can anyone tell me?
My build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/YMsDnQ

P.S Will anything in my system bottleneck the 980? Will I be able to push 100> fps in games with it?

Normally I wouldn't recommend a medium quality PSU with a card of that class. But the new Maxwell equipped GTX 980 is only a 165W card. So the PSU should be sufficient. But check the length of the card you decide on and then measure inside your case to be sure you have the room for it.
