Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Power supply? Well the evga g2 would be choice number one without a doubt but newegg sold out because it was $70 so I suggest if you want something still good and on the cheap the rosewill capstone has your back. The 750w is 87, 80 for the non modular. The 450w modular is 35 after a rebate which is more than enough power unless you want to sli later. What is the budget?

I refuse to include an SSD (do not argue with this just edit silently if you really believe)

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

I don't think you need SLI 980s to be honest.
