That monitor is only 1080p so that computer will handle just about any game you throw at it with a high-end i7 and two GTX 980s. If you're only gaming and plan to use a 1080p monitor I'd suggest spending a bit less, maybe going for an i5 6600K or an i7 6700K and changing the board and RAM (if the RAM you have listed there is DDR3) to suit and sticking with a single GTX 980, which is probably overkill for 1080p anyway.

If you really want a machine like this then I'd recommend one GTX 980 Ti (or maybe even one Titan) rather than two GTX 980s.

Spirit said it spot on. Unless you're going to be doing some hardcore stuff like streaming and or video editing, sticking with a single card and maybe a cheaper cpu may be good in the long run for saving some $...but hey, if you have the cash why not? Good luck
