What game, what settings?

 

Edit: Quite imbalanced. Things to change:

 

- Get an MSI Z97-G55 SLI and an I7-4790k if you also do rendering/streaming otherwise an I5-4690k

- Get an SSD + HDD combo instead.

Obviously depends on the game but you will have a perfect 1080p 60fps ultra all games.

1080p, highest settings, 60hz at least- all games

@mattyo1228

Not all games. FX8 struggles in a lot of games and will bottleneck a 980. Get an i5 and you can play all games at 1080p ultra at 60fps.

 

Much better and less expensive build:

Except on The Evil Within. Worst PC port ever.

 

 

@OP You would be far better off with an i5 4690k build...

[MCmcginness]

The 980 can wreck 1080p and 1440p. So 60+ fps is expected

If you are trying to aim for 1080p then definitely go with this instead. It will be much better for low quality ports and titles that only use 1 cpu core. Which there are still many, also you would be crazy CRAZY not to get an ssd in a build that expensive. Save little money, get a less expensive gpu that will still max out all games at 1080p right now. If I could fit in the same budget I would have put an ultrawide in there. But canadian prices are dumb on those things. You can a 25" 2560x1080p ips panel for 220 but the cheapest there is over 400. I would have to say that intel cpu's are massively better right now.
