Hello I am building a gaming pc and this is what I have come up with. I don't know that much but I know the basics. I play lots of FPS's, MMO's, RPG's and other games. My budget is around 1600$. Do I need to change anything or is it good? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

A GTX 980 is complete overkill for 1080p 60Hz gaming. A GTX 970 is plenty for that. I personally would spend less on an overclocking build and on that really expensive SSD and opt instead for a really nice monitor like this:
