You can have the sound card and the double GPU as long as you put the sound card in one of the small slots since the small slots run off of the chipset lanes and not the CPU lanes

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Sound cards are a scam. Just get a DAC.

 

Sound cards are a scam.

 

What if I told you my monitor has built in sound; so I use my HDMI cable to run sound from my video card.

 

Also at night I switch my main output to my USB headphones.

 

I'm not an audiophile, I use 10$ earbuds to listen to music on my phone; and headsets to play games -- I would never buy a DAC or a headset worth over 50$.
