Need help with Gaming/Content Creating PC

[dedexter]

I will use it most for gaming but for some content creating too (most on AutoCAD). I have 1350 to spend on the pc. Already have peripherals.

Will it be worthy to buy another gtx 970 and go SLI in the future or wait a little more to buy a 980 now? 

What do you guys think?

Get a second 970 in the future, other than that...it looks good. 

 

A gigabyte G1 gaming 970 would be better though (i'd also get a different case as a G1 gaming won't fit) 

 

The CX600 is half the cost at Newegg (or alternatively, get an EVGA G2 750w instead as its a much better psu)

 

/If you have a microcenter near you then you can get a 4790k+mobo combo for quite a bit off the usual price...if you don't, then add $50~ to my builds total cost.

Get a bigger SSD. A 120GB will fill up pretty quick.
