I'd get a single GTX 980 instead and get a second in the near future if possible. Allows for higher performance in the end with a better upgrade path.

i would get a custom water cooling loop because when  you get all the money for that pc, there's going to be a water block for the titan x

 

EDIT: go for x99 if possible

Why no 140mm fans in your planned build?

I do, I have a 140mm exhaust and 3 120mm intake in the front

Most of my posts are very controversial, please try not to get butthurt.

No, but a single card is always more stable. Down the track you can add another 980 and blow SLI'd 970s out of the water.

Need help with the RMA/retail side of things? Feel free to send me a PM, always happy to share my industry experience with others.

Not necessarily. If you add another 970 down the line to your already two way SLI 970'ed well.. Linus already did a video on this.

But this was done before #ramgate, so I'm not sure how accurate his opinion would be on it now.
