Nice build, any particular reason on getting the reference cooler on the 980?

It looks like the fans on your CPU cooler are backwards, fighting the rear exaust fan.

definitely a nice looking build. Just going to put it out there from some personal experience, if your 2nd monitor is an extended display, you should consider getting a larger TV size for 2 screen gaming and media

Amazing first build!

Nice build, any particular reason on getting the reference cooler on the 980?

Being in AUS at the moment the 980 isn't sold here with EVGA's ACX 2.0 cooler. Reference is the only way to get EVGA cards

After market coolers only come on 980's as Asus Strix (which I did consider), Gigabyte windforce cooler or MSI Twin Frozr V cooler.

Plus I love the reference design for Nvidia cards

Also my system shouldnt reach temps that need an aftermarket cooler.

Most my gaming is LoL, cause I'm a bit addicted.

Outside that it's mainly solo player Steam Games, Skyrim, Assassins Creed etc that I play.

It looks like the fans on your CPU cooler are backwards, fighting the rear exaust fan.

they possibly are, i installed it the way the manual and the youtube video i watched on the cooler said to though.

but I thought the same thing when I put it together
