Both gpu's would be considered overkill for 1080p gaming. I am a Nvidia fan myself so I would suggest a gtx 970. It will play every current title on max settings at 1080p and save you $200 compared to a 980 (even including a quieter non reference cooler).

This card would be ideal.

The SSD is only 120GB of size, so use it for your operating system and for programs you need to install. Other applications and games go to the 1TB HDD. Also, I have selected the EVGA 970 for better performance, as the cards are overclocked for you at the factory, and the card looks a damn lot better.
