If you're going for rendering AND gaming, the GTX Titan X would be a better card to go for. It will perform almost identical to the 980 Ti in gaming, but would probably do a LOT better in 3D rendering. It will be about twice as expensive, but it might be worth it if you're more into rendering. Also I have the 980 Ti and it's a GREAT card for gaming, don't get me wrong. Black and green build, I call it "Murphy". - CPU: Intel i5 4690k at 3.5 GHz - GPU: Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 980 Ti - Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97X SOC Force - RAM: 8GB 1866 MHz Corsair Vengeance Pro (gold) - PSU: EVGA SuperNova 750 B2 - Storage: 240GB Corsair Force LE SSD & 1TB Western Digital Black HDD - Case: Corsair Carbide 300r - Lighting: 2 green Logisys LED sticks (currently removed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 27, 2015 Author Not a bad choice but mrjordann is right maybe drop to two Kingston sv310 drives. my thought process is the intel 750 nvme3.0 400gb vs 2x256gb ssds in raid0 so would the intel 750 then make more sence?

Posted August 27, 2015 Author I will be saving the money over the next 8 weeks so there is time for things to change. Though I am still leaning towards 1 graphics card because worst case scenario I'll be using 1440p most likely 1080p making 2 980ti more overkill than the build already is. And it may make more sence to have 6-cores given some of the multi threaded enable programs I may be usings. Also I think I'll stick with the intel 750 because it's more for speed than capacity, -But man would 2 980ti kill in 3d rendering. Thank you all very much. And I know this may have seemed like a quest for affirmation more than information but i assure you it was not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
