Hello everyone,
So its about time for me to buy a new PC. I really want to get a super good PC which will probably last me longer. My budget is around 2.200EUR.

Specs:
- CPU: i7 6700k
- Motherboard: Asus Maximus VIII Hero
- Memory: 16gb Ballistix/Corsair DDR4
- GPU: Zotac GTX 980Ti Amp Extreme Edition
- Case: Corsair Graphite 780T
- PSU: ?
- HDD: Seagate 2TB
- SSD: Crucial MX200 500gb
- CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock 3

So this are the parts i choose for now.
So my question: Which is the best PSU to use with such a System and do you recommend another Motherboard or anything else. You can also give me a whole system recommendation if you want.

Its going to be my first PC which I will build myself, so im pretty nervouse already lel.

A PCIe M.2 SSD operates at faster transfer speeds than an ordinary SSD. It plugs into a dedicated port on your motherboard and doesn't require power or sata cables from the PSU. Most people put their operating system on their M.2 and this makes Windows start up faster than normal. Might also be useful if you're into open world games. They come in 128Gb, 256Gb, and 512Gb versions. Consider the Samsung SM951 or the Plextor...

If you're looking to "Future Proof" your PC, focus on the parts that will be long term and not progressing fast. CPU's and GPU's are an endless battle because bigger and better is always around the corner. One thing you can predict will last a long time is a quality high power PSU. I suggest Getting something 1000W and up because you never know if you will SLI your GPU and if you do, you'll save quite a bit doing so. Even though the minimum requirement for 980 Ti's in SLI is 850W, I would still go 1000W+. Happy Gaming!

Okay thank you guys, im a huge noob when it comes to terms like m.2 and all that stuff (please clarify :)), i dont really know how to plug everything into the motherboard aswell (except the gpu and cpu) but are there any features like this m.2 which i need to look out for, to get a faster ssd speed or whatever.

Look those two models up on Google to see what they look like and there are videos on Youtube to show you how they plug in.

It's a special SSD. It's a different type than the Crucial MX200 with different power and data requirements. You don't have to have a M.2; you can build just fine using ordinary SSDs only but seeing as you're getting a motherboard that can accommodate a M.2, you might as well use one. Like I said, look it up on Google and Youtube and you'll soon figure out the differences.
