For all saying my build isn't upgrade-able , yes its not because its already the best price/performance you can get nowadays.
The GTX 970 SLI is the best combination that you can get nowadays , 10% less performance than 980 SLI and costs 60% less so win-win situation.
Money can be saved yes of course , but in a budget like that you'd want to spend every single penny on existing quality overkill components so you don't upgrade in the future.
Unfortunately a 980 isn't any better than 970 SLI , Andrew and the general rule here can't be applied.
Money can be saved by dropping to 8gb of RAM , 128Gb SSD and an i5 instead of an i7 yet again I recommend sticking with the existing parts as they'll last longer and require no hassle whatsoever for an expected duration of 2-3 years at least.

so how is my original build not that great?Alright I'll explain why sir , First of all the 780 nowadays isn't an option I'd go for as they are discontinued and the 970 is better while costing less and consuming less power.
In a gaming rig an overkill CPU like the i7 won't give you any advantage over a cheaper CPU+ Better GPU hence why people always recommend shifting the focus to a better GPU. My build for example has the i7 but it has best price/performance cards on the market SLIed so its ok to get an i7 in such a fancy rig as the i7 will help out in multitasking , editing , recording and rendering processes.
The Corsair CX series are made of cheap capacitors and you should avoid it under most situations if you're serious about overclocking , MSI motherboards have higher failure rates than most manufacturers that's why they're not recommended.
Remember guys we're here to help not to fight about whose build is better and why the OP should pick it as a solution.

Not that I'm an MSI fan boy, but some people might disagree and say Asus or other companies have higher failure and return rates.
