Dude! What about an SSD? Absolutely critical in a high end build like yours. Also a 1200W PSU is totally overkill, especially since you have a Maxwell GPU.

Why do people get such big, overkill PSUs?  I assume you do a lot of research on each component and then you fail to Google the "how big of a power supply do I need?"
 
There are numerous calculators online that tell you how much you need.  CPUs and SSDs are more efficient and unless you are using SLI with high end graphics cards, you would be surprised at how small your PSUs can be and still have room for upgrades.

It's actually interesting the PSU is so large because the 980 is like the most efficient card in a while

Who knows, I can use SLI or Crossfire with my 6 year old 750W Corsair which I plan on replacing eventually, not really sure why people go for the 1000W+ power PSU's unless they are running 3-4 power hungry GPU's and overclocking. One of the bigger improvements in high-performance PCs lately I noticed is efficiency.

The legendary 2500k!

It's kind of amazing how long it's lasted.  I had the fan and heatsink turned off for an entire week without knowing after adding a part or something like that about a year ago and it was running at 100 degrees Celcius, and just a few days ago i found the fan and heatsink wasn't fully pushed into the motherboard and it had been like that for at least a few weeks, still working really well.
