The keyboard looks great I would love to have one!

This video might help answer some of your questions.

Fury X are still pushing $700 dollars a piece if you add in a replacement warranty (AT least in the brands I trust). The 980's are on sale on newegg right now for under $450 so I am sacrificing some performance to have 2 GPU cards.

I'm also kinda digging the controversy I've started.

I'm putting around $500 into CPU, MB, Ram, The rest of the $3000 is all reusable I do plan to sli 2 GTX980's

A Fury X is not out of the question down the road.

Don't want Intel.

Going to SLI two of them later on. Also I realize I could go a completely different way but it not so much about just gaming.Some programs I rum are CPU and ram hogs.

Not a fan of Intel pricetag. I know they are faster but I'd rather toss money a better GPU. Plus I am used to AMD. Call me a fanboy. Can't help it.

So I decided it was time to build a new computer this year. My last build is starting to age out. It's been a great computer but the Phenom quad cpu and Radeon 5670(by Sapphire) is starting to struggle with the games I play on it. Also the case has been through three iterations and even though it would be plenty big enough for the new build, it's very outdated style wise and features such as cable management behind the motherboard weren't really a thing in the $50 to $150 dollar price range when I bought it. So to sum it up the kids are getting that computer and I am building a new one. I'm going to create a build vlog with links to youtube and updates. So let's list out the parts that are in the mail. links at the end of parts to newegg page. -Be Quiet! Silent Base 800 with Orange trim. according to Be Quiet! web sight they make red trim but good luck finding one.
