AugustusOne, I suggest spending the $1,200 on your two new 980 TI's first

980 TI.... just do it and be happy

Been messing around with OCing the last few weeks and realized today - what is the point. Card crushes everything I throw at it and if I want ultra @ 4k 144Hz I need to spend another $600 for SLI 980 TI xdxdxd

self explanatory

I need to hire a photo editor or photographer cus this is all I got http://imgur.com/a/7v8K5

@@WhOaMi_Gaming Short version (TLDR): I have not build my own rig/workstation in years and decided it was time to get back to it. I also decided my cousin needed an upgraded as he is going into his Senior year of high school and I wanted him to have the best resources he won’t use for studying. Build 1: 4970k, r920x DD by XFX, 16 gig ddr 3, msi krait edition mobo, intel 500 series ssd, asus 24’ 1080p 144Hz gaming monitor (my old one + my old gaming keyboards, mice, etc). Windows 10 Pro. I heard great things about XFX but they still have not returned my phone call or responded to my ticket. The card I received from NewEgg was idling at 50C+ due to one of the fans being broken? So to speak. NewEgg did not offer a refund for the card but an exchange, however, they were out of stock. I got the refund and put it towards a hyper fury x. Let’s say I was impressed by the AMD drivers but nothing else. I gave him one of my 980 TI’s and off he went. I understand fully why NewEgg is such a stickler about returns now. Certain companies are terrible about replacing products they mass produce – this is beyond absurd and I refuse to give my money to any company like this. First time using NewEgg in years. I’d say it’s 50/50 in terms of customer support/service on the person or supervisor you get. I had a guy from “Premier Phone Support” lie to me, tell me that after he hung up on me I could rate the conversation with him. Needless to say, they lost me as a customer that day save for great deals, never will buy premier again. Intel Core i7-4790K GTX 980 TI FTW (EVGA) Build #2 980 TI FTW (EVGA) x2 SLI (currently running only 1 this fury x of his I returned).. Honestly, may not happen until I find a reason to game @ 4k 144+ refresh/freq rate (without “down sampling” .... I primarily play E-Sports game. If I start streaming again more actively and find a need for it there I'll pick up the pace. Otherwise, I plan to snag the new GPU’s this summer. Windows 10 Pro 32 gigs DDR3 Gigabyte GA-Z97X-GAMING 7 Acer XF270HU 144Hz 27" Monitor (Primary Gaming Display). Few more that I have bought and returned. I am trying to find that sweet spot display, especially an ultra wide that does what I need. 144Hz @ 1440p is a must for my gaming experience, however, I need that business ultra wide @ 4k that I can stream Netflix on, etc.. There is so much technology I have yet to play around with and this is (sad to admit) my first SSD. Never going back to HDD/s and only using them for cold storage now. I got x2 490/500 gig SSD’s. I love them, just nothing else to say. After thought and things I would have done differently: I will only work on a full size mobo. I am 6’5 and anything smaller is just a pain for me. Out of everything the dark pro 3 (be quiet) aftermarket cpu cooler was the biggest pain in the ass to install due to my large hands. I’ll update more after I overclock the cpu and gpu but for now I am very happy gamer in search of an ultra-wide still. Researched displays a lot more. Found the website that listed the MSRP + lowest price sold for and where on all items I was interested in. Never buy another HDD with cloud storage and my 500 from my past I am good for nonprofessional use. Bought both my cousin and I larger cases and him a larger mobo. Stay away from anyone but companies I know and unfortunately, I don’t know any AMD. I am not a “Nvidia fanboy” and was very impressed at how the 290x ran without being overclocked. until later that night when I noticed how hot it was and checked afterburner. I was very nervous and still after 3 weeks have no response from XFX. Just ruined AMD cards for me this year. I would have researched overclocking a lot more. I have yet to OC either mobo or cpu and if I never do I wasted some money going with the k version and their mobos. All in all, I am happy especially for keeping the price of both workstations / gaming rigs under 2,600$ (not including displays/peripherals) I might be back to bitch about my 980 TI FTW by EVGA but I doubt it. This thing is a monster that I never hear coming. Time to a few days off from csgo and dota to play some games that show me the beauty of this card. Take care all, Happy New Years..

Read my comments. . It wasn't based off a suggestion nor did I order it. nice b8 m8

Just going to mark as solved. I thought some people get a good laugh but damn some salty people online this morning.

Look I got the 980TI's ftw by evga, a few other parts @ 25% off brand new. Now, I was restricted to what I could buy but went HAM on what I could.. a monitor was not an option. Now I am on a budget for a monitor.. can always resell a 980 heh

damn man, salty as all hell

I was out.. he was home. The way he explained it was a prime sale.. so I thought it would sell out and said pull the trigger knowing I could return it.

So, was looking for 1440p 144Hz 27 in to replace my asus 24in 144Hz..... I was told by friend that bought with his account he found one for 408$.. Did not believe but said order before it sells out. ASUS PB278Q 27" WQHD 2560x1440 PLS/ IPS DisplayPort HDMI DVI-D VGA Ergonomic Back-lit LED Monitor Sold by: Amazon.com LLC that got here today (((((( QQ too good to be true boys it is No way I can OC this to 144Hz I am guessing? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-s2716dg-27-led-monitor-piano-black/4598802.p?id=1219775855046&skuId=4598802 Best Buy has this for 600$ (50$ cheaper than Amazon). Gonna chill out and keep gaming on my 144Hz and mess with the 27 in' while I research monitors more. I have to give this 144Hz to my cousin by the end of the month, however (promised him it)., My 980 TI FTW's (evga) will be here tomorrow. If I game on 980 TI sli 1080P for more than 48 hours someone just put me out of my misery. more of a story than anything else lol rip me

I ordered stuff from prime on thursday same time - it arrived Saturday. Meant to quote the other guy thought he was saying I was BM (bad mouthing) NewEgg and my story was bullshit. thx

This is not bullshit. I'll happily show you my invoice. check my twitter @WhOaMi-Gaming - I've spent a ton of money at NewEgg recently. I want to know if I am being lied to is all
