ok, they just so many bells and whistles to these motherboards, making it very confusing to get the right one

and here is the proverbial quarter that is going to derail the discussion.

Nope, you can not SLI cards of different types. Plus H97 doesnt support SLI

No, if you want to SLI cards. You have to have 2 of the same model. 
The MB is fine. 

A 970 and 960 won't SLI together.

you can only use a matching card type in sli unless you are using the second card for physx (which isnt sli)

You are sadly only able to SLI same model card from Nvidia.
970 with 970. 960 with 960.

Scalable Link Interface (SLI) is a brand name for a multi-GPU technology developed by NVIDIA for linking two or more video cards together to produce a single output. SLI is an algorithm of parallel processing for computer graphics, meant to increase the processing power available for graphics


 


 


 


Can't do that if they are different

never heard of the motherboard, mind giving me a link?

No

Well, Cat6 will allow you to go longer distances and leaves you room to take advantage of faster internet speeds (WHEN prices become reasonable -- which won't be for at least 5-10 years imo). So is it worth it.....not really.

The difference between cat 5 and cat 6 is the extra insulation and its strength. but it is only used in large commercial buildings like offices where you need more that a couple of 100 meters of it. I see no point in using cat6 for this example, since it does not actually affect speed or latency 

Cat 6 is generally useful if you want fast LAN speeds, like if you want fast data rates between your PC and a NAS. Having said that, I get 800mbps over cat 5e.

A 25 foot ethernet cable would be the easiest solution, but it wouldn't be that elegant. Since you're gonna be gaming, I wouldn't recommend wifi, but like others have mentioned in this thread, you could use power over ethernet (POE) and you'd get a reliable speedy connection. However, then you have to buy a POE kit to plug into your wall sockets, which costs quite a lot more than a 25 foot ethernet cable.
 
Ultimately I think it's really up to you to decide whether or not you want to go with the easier, cheaper, but less elegant solution, or the slightly more expensive but elegant solution.

So heres what I have so far,

Its a 50 bucks more than what i want it to be (500), is their a way to bring it down a little bit atleast without sacrificing much.
 
Im going to use it to play games like, gta, hardline, gmod, etc. I would love to play them in high settings above 40 fps. Im also going to use the pc to edit videos
 
So what should i change? tnx
