Well while a gtx 980ti is overkill for 1080p gaming, this build is much better overall as far as quality goes. The only thing that's really worse at all is the ssd, because it's smaller and a bit slower. But the gpu heavily outperforms a gtx 970 and has none of the VRAM issues that the gtx 970 does. The case fans in the Fractal Design Define R5 are fine as is, I love the case personally, it's excellent. This is a great gaming build.
