Looks okay but I have a couple of pointers:

While 500w is technically enough for a 980, you are cutting it close, the Corsair CX range also isn't that great. I would recommend going for a better unit like this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-s12ii620bronze (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-s12ii620bronze)
Why the AMD FX? For most tasks you would get better performance with something like an Intel Core i5 4690k.

Well I can Increase the Power supply that wouldn't be a problem even though the estimated wattage is 398 W but as a personal preference I like the AMD cpus

How about the SeaSonic M12II Bronze 620W 80 PLUS is that good enough?

That PSU is fine.

Just because you prefer AMD CPUs doesn't mean it's the best option, seriously look into an Intel Core i5 as it will likely perform better, not to mention the entire platform being more up to date (PCI-E 3.0.etc) and more power efficient. AMD are struggling nowadays, especially with their FX chips and their very poor single thread performance.

That's fine then, just stay with what you have and get the better PSU.

I do understand that and the order which I placed the post might have misled you to believe I was Impatient, but I'm not but thanks for the unnecessary hint. Even though I'm new to this forum I am not however new to the rules of forums.
