Hello wonderful people. I have started planning to build a new computer. So far I have the processor and peripherals I want, but I need some help with choosing brands, motherboards, and other components

^ Le Build
 
 
My first conflict is that I want to do a twin GTX 980s, but there are sooooo many conflicting opinions. I want something that can perform well and squeeze it all out with a second card, but also something that can keep in the moderately silent range. I've debated ASUS STRIX, EVGA classified, and Gigabyte g1.
 
My Second conflict is Monitors, and 


I know for sure I'm going double monitors. Initially I was thinking of the RoG Swift w/ Gsync dat resolution doe. I realized after adding it to my list that it costs money, a lot of money. I'm willing to shamelessly throw money at a monitor as long as it looks good and performs well, but I still need enough money in the couch cushions for everything else. My initial plan was to have a gaming monitor in the center and a media monitor on the side (my field of vision is lopsided so this is ideal). The problem I then realised is that the resolutions will probably have to match, right? And can I have two different monitors working together?? Do I have to daisy chain the displays to sync???  I've never been much of a monitor expert so if those who are could give me advice on what I should do about the monitor set up without having to open my wallet too much, that'd be just wonderful.

 

 

I want a quiet rig. I'll probably cool ol' mr. Haswell with a be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3

Again, if you guys have any better Ideas, I'll gladly take them.

 

Last but not least: Storage.

I know SSDs are faster but I want a lot of space on my computer. A TB is my minimum. Could I solve this with a dropbox? or external and backed up drives for personal stuff?

 

If you made it down here, please leave your advice. This is a very helpful forum and reddit is. . . well. . . Reddit.

 

 

Thanks

dont shop by brands

I don't mean to shop by brands. It is just that there is so many options for 980s.
