Might as well get two 970s with how cheap they are, and how power efficient they are too. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

Looks pretty solid.

I would recommend Buying a SSD and a 2TB HDD Or simply adding a small SSD(60gb or so) for the OS and keep the 2x1TB drives instead of 2x1TB drives.
But im sure you have your reasons for wanting 2x1TB drives.


EDIT: fixed how i said "small ssd"
