You gotta focus on balance, the motherboard you chose while very good, isn't necessary. A stable motherboard, power supply, and solid major components are more critical than a few additional features.

Still, 980 is a better card than R9 390x where the skylake gains 2-3 % over the devil canyon. Somehow i feel not to get the "K" , overclocking that skylake will gain 4-6% performance. Of course, skylake is a better chip than devil canyon but that price margin, still, 4690 will also be a best choice.
