The 750 watt psu is fine for your sli 980s.   I would personally go with the EVGA 850 for its much longer warranty but what you have works.

Same for the cpu cooler. The 240mm rad is just fine.   

Hope this helps.


Edit... not sure of the warranty on the DS Vortex 240 cooler, but the h100i has a 5 year warranty so that might be a consideration.
