This will completely wreck every game ever... what resolution are you playing at?

[SeanBond]

you have a good 1440p ultra machine for the next few years at least.

[ImBleu]

Similar price to my build, you'll love it - especially if you come from a low-end gpu.

 

Expect every game that can benefit from SLI to play amazingly. TotalBiscuit uses 2x GTX980s now so you can watch his videos and copy his settings / expect similar frame rates.

[PCzac]

That build is overkill for 1080p 60 FPS for those games, but if you are planning on playing at 1440p or at 120hz+ it'll definitely use that extra horsepower.

I am not sure but 1080p is fine by me. 

 

do you think if i can get 2x EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB Superclocked ACX 2.0 Video Card instead of 2x Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 4GB WINDFORCE Video Card . almost same performance and save around 400$ ?

yaaa, for 1080p 970 sli is more than enough, so go for that
