Yes, I have a 10 year old 850W Antec TPQ running a 980X @ 4.2GHz with proper water cooling system, a 7970 @ 1GHz, an 850 Evo and three HDDs and a Sound Blaster Z. In the words of Sadam, hey relax guy.

That PSU is way oversized. A good 500W would probably be enough.

Hahah, I'm so worried that my investment will go up in flames; ^hearing this makes me more comfortable.
I mean, if you're planning on using SLI in the future, yeah.
You can run two GTX 980 Ti from this thing.
Uh, wow. Thats way overkill, it is more than enough!
Yeah, that PSU will easily handle a 980Ti or 2 970's.

It looks like a good build, though the CPU and RAM may be a bit overkill if you are just gaming on it. An i7 and 16GB is more of a photo/video editing build.
