Hello fellow PC enthusiasts :)
Im very excited as I am about to build my PC for the very first time.. the specs will be as follow:

i7 4790k
MSI Z97 GAMING 7
Corsair Vengeance 1600MHZ 2x8GB C9
MSI GTX 980 (not thinking of doing any SLI-ing atm but could be in the future)
CM Nepton 240M
CM Storm Enforcer (Chassis)
WD Black 1TB

my problem right now is:
what PSU should I be getting (brand, Watts, etc.) ?
will there be any bottleneck of some sort?
is the MOBO good enough?
is the chassis too small?
any recommendations/suggestions at all?
any parts im missing (besides the PSU and other peripherals like keyboard/mouse)?
(im very very new so i'll be needing a lot of advice from you guys)
Thank you very much!

First, can you tell me your budget and resolution you're playing at?
Here it is, I chose an air cooler, the Noctua NH-D15, it has a higher CFM and is more silent.
I changed the HDD to a Caviar Blue, no need for the Black and added a Sandisk Extreme Pro 240GB, one of the best SSD's.
Also, I've replaced the gtx 980 for a gtx 970, because assuming you will game at 1080p, the gtx 980 is overkill and you can always add another gtx 970 later.
For the PSU, I've chosen the XFX XTR 750, a tier one modular and gold certified unit that will give you space for future sli and good overclocks.
If you dont like that peripherals you can change but they are well-priced and there's no need to spend more on them. And the case is fine.

for the time being it would be on a 1920x1080 monitor .. im not sure on which monitor to get yet but i think it will be the Viewsonic’s VX2370Smh or 2263 depending on availability .. the asus one is nice too i guess..
as for budget.. it would be a bit tricky as i am in malaysia ..

hey that is definitely helpful :) thank you very much!
do you have any suggestion for a good 1440p monitor ips panel(as i prefer better image quality and color accuracy) with a not-really-noticeably-slow response rate and input lag when compared to a TN panel?
and what is the difference between blue and black WD HDD any why I should go with blue?
i kinda like the nepton 240m as it uses water to cool the CPU so it kinda look all cool and fancy but is it really that much better to use the noctua instead? basically, why would i go with the nepton 240m and why would i go with the noctua?
