A new cpu

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

A pair of 970s in SLI

But id rather recommend a pair of R9 290s in Crossfire, 3 monitors will eat your Vram, And games will use More and More Vram so that last 0,5gb will make a difference in the end.

My Gaming PC

|| CPU: Intel i5 4690@4.3Ghz || GPU: Dual ASUS gtx 1080 Strix. || RAM: 16gb (4x4gb) Kingston HyperX Genesis 1600Mhz. || Motherboard: MSI Z97S Krait edition. || OS: Win10 Pro

Pretty much every single modern game works great with SLI and it matters huge what resolution is being played. Sli'd 970`s blow the 980 out of the water, and if you are playing 1440p or 4k you will need and want the extra firepower. 

Here is a link to some benchmarks....

980 for the upgradeability,

 

Or wait for 300 series and get 2 of their equivalent of the 970, which will more than likely have 4 whole gigabytes of Vram.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

Or, if you don't mind getting soon to be outdated technology, go with a 49 295x2.
