Here is one with two 980's but its almost $2000 http://pcpartpicker.com/p/NvQdYJYou could step down to 970's (Like $200 less each), but the 290's are still more powerful.

Buddy this isnt a budget build. Its a "I have $1900 burning a hole, and I need to get the most out of them" build.

Woah no Nvidia wat happen

The R9 290x has about the same performance as the GTX 970 But has 4gb of full-speed Vram so it can actually use all 4gb of Vram without slowing down much And on top of that it is usually cheaper.

My Gaming PC

Max price to performance possible with no sacrifices 

AMD cards are without a doubt the best bang for the buck GPUs out there

I just saved you $600USD for a PC that rapes ANY GAME @ 1080p and it looks sick as heck

a twin frozer is 403USD btw

The cooling is nothing compared to the tri-x

If you worry about the color scheme you can go with the gigabyte one
