This is a pretty good build in general, the only thing I would change is the CPU cooler, the CNPS10X is a decent cooler, but a lot of people have trouble with mounting it and getting incorrect components to it. Anyways, the Hyper 212 Evo or the Cryorig H7 both cool just as well or better and are easier to deal with.

Looking at pictures of your case, it seems that you will be able to fit even a windforce 980 inside, but if not, there are two different drive cages and you can remove the top one leaving only the bottom 2 drive bays for 3.5" drives, but more space and Airflow.
