I presume you already have a monitor?

I think a 550W PSU will be pushing it for an overclocked 5820K and 980Ti combo, I'd personally be looking at 700W+ PSU.

You don't have to use a dedicated sound card as the motherboard will have it's own onboard sound, but the Asus card will definitely be superior.

Will the 500Gb SSD in the bundle be sufficient for your storage needs?

Do you like that case?

As you have selected an external optical drive then the Fratal Define S Case is a good price/performance/features case with no external drive bays.

You may also find the motherboard sound solution fine as its a few steps above the average sound chip.
