    I really like your logic, I'm glad I posted here definatly saved lots of $$, thank you .
    One thing I am wondering about is with that cpu you suggested the i5 4690k. With that would I be able to multitask a lot without slowing down? Like downloading, streaming video, browsing internet, etc?

    Even a radeon R9 295x2 can game at 4k ultra without any problem whatsoever. And would cost him almost one quarter of 4 980s while having a fraction of the problems related with multi-gpu configurations. 2 gpus are fine, 4 will give you more headaches than achieve anything useful. 32gb of ram are completely, and utterly, useless in a gaming build and they very likely will be for the whole lifespan of his machine. Not to mention, getting what he needs now and adding some more ram later would both be cheaper and allow him to only get it if he REALLY needs it.
     
    When people ask for a build advice, and give you a budget, it doesn't mean that you must use all that budget no matter what. They may not know what they really need and state what they can afford. OUR job is to advise them and help them not waste money with a snake oil configuration. If I asked for advice on  usb cable and told you I had 1000$ to spend, would you tell me to get a 1000$ cable?
