Gaming only? And do you need 2 480GB 730s?

Well internet use, with slight media use as well for movies and TV shows, and no not really just wanna make sure I have enough hi speed storage. But I suppose it's not needed and would cut down on cost a fair bit

Well, you don't really notice a difference in SSD speeds. How much storage are you using right now? I think that a 256GB SSD and a 1TB HDD will be more than enough.

No, atleast I think so. (2x 256gb for programs and some games, 128 for OS, 1TB games)

you can raid odd sizes, but the size of each individual disk will be lowered to the size of the smallest disk

X79A GD65 (8D), 3820, 7770, 16GB (1600Mhz cas9), 850watt(ocz zx), storm trooper, h100, xonar xense, sp2500, pc350, asus PA248Q LG 22'' ips, razor black-widow ultimate 2013, 120GB intel 520 series 128GB crucial M4 2*3TB barracuda 2*1TB barracuda 2TB Hitachi

Thank you for color coordinating the ram and motherboard, I had trouble doing so with my first build. Now I just gotta wait on ek to come out with water blocks for the gigabyte cards

Umm, I gave you reference 970s from EVGA.

Apologies, scrolling around on mobile like a mad man trying to look at the list. Would the recommend the evga 980 since they have the display ports required to run a tri-monitor g-sync build or are they other better 980s able to

Yea, sure, go for the EVGA 980s. I frogot that 970s didn't have 3 displayports. Since you're watercooling, you want to go for reference cards because they have the best waterblock compatabilty.

Okay, well time to save up a little more than go all out. With this configuration I shouldn't have to upgrade for at least 4-5 years correct?
