Is a good 1200$ Gaming Setup/Computer? Any Suggestions?

Solution
Dont buy a 980 for the price its not worth it when the 970 is almost just as good for $200 less.

What would be your suggestion for a build? A GTX 980 was 500$ by itself and I wanted the computer to be well rounded so I wasen't sure how I could fit it in.
