Seems like a great build. Though expensive, but if you want to throw that kind of money at your computer, go for it!

For what you seem to be looking for, a second 980 just seems unnecessary to be perfectly honest.

(You probably won't hear me, but you can take 1k out of the build, and still have near identical performance.)

 

It's a fine build! -sarcasm.

O.o

 

And to think that I would lower that price even further! Man... I didn't think we could decrease the build THAT much.
