If you were over the Vram limit your game would start to stutter, what does the Vram usage say in GPU-Z?

Yeah but we're talking about Vram not fps, which can be simply solved with lowering a few settings

Just lower some settings I wouldn't buy a new GPU until you feel unsatisfied with FPS performance

Pretty sure it wouldn't make any noticeable difference

true you wouldn't tell much difference 1440p

Your case is very compact and unlikely to fit that cooler inside, Corsair on the website doesn't put the case as compatible with it unless you want to take the risk, so I would just get an air cooler since your case may not fit any 240mm AIO which are the only coolers worth getting for an Mid Tower case imo

Get Skylake better for gaming than X99 and I would just SLI 970 since it's cheaper than a 980Ti

He said he had an Nvidia shield

Go for aftermarket coolers unless it's a SLI config or you just want it for looks, aftermarkets have better cooling performance and a lot of them are much quieter with zero RPM on idle. Though for the whole build I would replace that PSU, not bad just much better PSUs available at cheaper or same pricing

What form factor

not for office or light TDP build but best avoided

external one? And why AMD if Intel is superior and within budget

yes

The monitor makes zero difference and how could you tell the fps? Depends on the game, settings, resolution and what 980Ti it is since a lot of different out of the box clock speeds

Streaming console games is fine on the CPU To lower CPU usage for PC games a capture card would help

@Bcerka follow topic

What is this build for? and I would go for H440 imo

Not all Xeons have HT but that one does

well as everyone said any Haswell i5 will not bottleneck

That's not much better https://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9

You set a fan curve through bios if it's PWM but it will actually ramp up or down if it's PWM(4-pin). If it's DC(3-pin) then it's through voltage control which I'm unsure of myself how to control based on the motherboard
