The shipping was a impatient wait for me, but I finally got it built, a few days ago. (Actually it's probably been 10 days o3o)

I posted it as a completed build on PCPartPicker, check it out:

Srsly, how is it overkill. I am sick of people saying there rig is overkill if they have a 980. A 980 makes sense for 1440p maxed out. 980 sli for 1440p maxed out 144hz.

I'n my book, overkill = at least better than 90%  of all other PCs on 3D mark.

This PC will score from 97-99% better.

No, that's a waste of money.

That's bragging rights.

No that's what OVERKILL means, watch linus's video bout it. No custom loop means no overkill. Also firestrike? Nope... It goes off scale After a while. Give a more reasonable score like haven benchmark

Do agree with you on this, but some people do need their PC's for something other than gaming (with some gaming), so it's justified...

 

 

Also, that SSD burns my eyes.... seriously... You should've went with a bigger SSD, higher wattage PSU so you could, possibly, SLI later without changing it (Mobo supports it, and if you don't plan on SLI, you could've went with a cheaper mobo)... And that's about it (but you could've went with G1, since it's a binned card)

No, I only got the SSD for windows & drivers.

Going with a higher wattage PSU would've been a waste, the build only uses ~380 Watts.

I'll probably go SLI later, don't fret.

So not overkill...

As he said it's justified. However, why not a i7, if you are gonna go sli, the 4790k should have been better

Yeah, but some games do benefit, a little, from being installed on an SSD... Also, there isn't a big difference in price between 32/64/128

Yeah, but 550W isn't enough for that future SLI, so you're basically spending for naught those 85$ you spent on that PSU... It would've been better if you got 750W EVGA G2, so you could SLI without changing it

You'll need higher wattage PSU for it...

I just checked, and it looks like your right, I'd have like 2 watts to spare if everything was at stock speed.

Yeah... Can you return that PSU (since you only built your PC 10~ days ago) O.o

 

If you can, get something like this :)
