Start your first PC build with an i7+gtx980 and decide on the next steps.

That is a huge resolution you are running at and the Frame rates should be between 40 and 50. If you want more you will probably have to bring it down to 2560x1600.
You could either try a second 980 in SLI (does not scale properly in most games and CPU/chip set may cause cards to run 16x by 8x or 8x by 8x and you will need a bigger power supply) or maybe go up to a 980ti.
With Pascal just around the corner I would wait. You can over clock it like said above with little to no problems with the system you have but do not expect huge FPS gains at those resolutions.

JimF_35 is discussing potential adjustments for their current setup, suggesting frame rates between 40 and 50 and considering a possible reduction to 2560x1600. They mention trying a second 980 in SLI or upgrading to a 980ti, noting that overclocking might be feasible but with limitations. They also reference Pascal and share performance results from PC Game Center, expressing interest in future upgrades.
