You shouldn't put your money into outdated tehnology and outdated motherboard. You should just sell the i7 2600 and buy latest generation Skylake CPU / motherboard and DDR 4 ram. Also the GTX 980 is outdated, not cost efficient and the one you linked is refurbished which means it was used. Get an GTX 1060 or RX 480 instead. If you really want to buy Z68 motherboard get it second hand for less than 40$, it's not worth more than that.

The Power Supply you linked is garbage, it will burn down your pc if you are lucky, if you are unlucky it will burn down your entire house.

Get this build instead. You also need an SSD drive to speed up your system. You need to install windows on SSD.

Apevia is one of the worst PSU / case manufacturers you could possibly buy from. Stay very far away. I also agree about the 980 and the i7, outdated components. You can get a 1070 for the same price as that 980, and you can get a Z170 board for the same price as that Z68. And again stay very far away from Apevia.
