So putting together a build based off a GTX 980 ti as well as an Asus ROG Swift PG279Q.

Have this so far: http://www.hardwareversand.de/pcconfigurator/meinpc/1368274

Just wanted to check that all parts were compatible first off, especially the PSU.

Secondly, Do I need the H60 with the aftermarket fans already on the GPU and the intel built in.
Thirdly, Is the i7 really worth it over the i5.
Lastly, are there any parts that would be a much better pick for a similar price?

Also not necessarily looking to overclock, just there were no reference cards on that particular site and would rather have it all come from the same spot. Open to suggestions though!

Cheers!

Ddr4 is on par with ddr3 until they get the timings better.
The CPUs are about on par to for gaming skylakes is lower on power .
It is more board features that you would want to look at . I think z97 will be fine and it will be cheaper which will allow you to get a i7 instead.
