Will an EVGA PRO SLI Bridge (HB) 2-SLOT work on an ASUS Z170-A? I'm using 2 GTX 1080 FE.

I'm planning to buy a PC. Don't know what graphics card to purchase because I'm not quite sure which is more "WORTH IT". A GTX 1070 Founders Edition? or a Custom GTX 980 Ti (OC) Example: EVGA GTX 980 Ti HYBRID (OC) vs GTX 1070 Founders Edition (Non overclocked). What happens when you overclock the 1070? does it beat the custom GTX 980 Ti's? Considering the 1070 is WAY cheaper, what card should I buy? I'm also planning to run a 2-Way SLI System.

up to 144Hz***

If you're using a Asus ROG Swift PG278Q, Then the maximum refresh rate is only up to a 144Hz.

I've ordered two GTX 1080 Founders Edition on Amazon and was planning on running a 2-Way SLI Setup. Sources told me NVIDIA are making these new "HB SLI Bridges". I was wondering what is this new "HB SLI Bridge" people are talking about. Can I use two SLI Bridges as an alternative? (Example: Two EVGA Pro SLI Bridge V2) Link: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Bridge-2-Way-Long-100-2W-0023-LR/dp/B00X5X3LQY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1465790205&sr=8-1&keywords=evga+sli (Can I use two of those?)

I was thinking a non-Ultrawide 1440p Monitor please.

This will be my first build and to be quite honest, I have no idea which 1440p Monitor to purchase. I heard that the ASUS ROG SWIFT PG279Q received allot of negative feedback due to its IPS glow or this "Backlight bleed" that everyone's been talking about. Are there some good 1440p IPS displays/monitors out there that delivers positive or good feedback, doesn't have the same issues as the ASUS ROG SWIFT PG279Q had, and features a 144-165hz refresh rate? NOTE: MONEY ISN'T AN ISSUE.

I'm quite curious cause when I saw some graphics card unboxing vids, it came with a CD and I think its for the drivers or something. I'm not entirely sure so I'm a bit paranoid to get a case without an optical drive.

I'm building a new PC from scratch and I was wondering if I still need an Optical Drive?

I believe that the zotac amp! Extreme card has the highest base and boost clock out of the box compared to all the gtx 980 ti's but won't overclock it make it unstable? Or is it rather safe and I'm over thinking to much?

Sorry for asking this, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to these things but can you OC the ZOTAC AMP! Extreme?

What is the best Version/Variant/Brand/Model of the GTX 980 Ti in terms of overall sheer performance, temperature, OC stability, etc?

Is the ZOTAC GTX 980 Ti AMP! Extreme better than this? I heard that if you overclock the Sea Hawk, let's say about 1400-1500 Mhz, it can somehow match or even be better than the ZOTAC AMP! Extreme.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if the MSI GTX 980 Ti Sea Hawk is worth it? It's an AIO Liquid Cooled Card so that means that even though you overclock it, it will still run at a pretty low temperature compared to Air cooled Graphics Cards but in terms of speed and perfomance or let's just say, in terms of overall factors, feautures and performance, is it worth buying? And can it somehow go toe to toe with the best GTX 980 Ti's out there such as the ZOTAC AMP! Extreme, ASUS STRIX GTX 980 Ti (OC), etc. when the Sea Hawk is overclocked?
