criticize it all u want, just dont go too mean

[PHInfinite]

You should have gone for a x99 build at this price...

[KamiKatze]

That build is allround pretty badass.

 

I don't quite understand the pricing on the GPUs, but i guess you pay 2 x 318 bucks for the cards, at which point i would suggest to go GTX 980 Ti.

 

Also double the SSD size, it's not that much more expensive.

Depends on what the's going to do. For gaming certainly not...

Why? Its a very balanced build... I would try to get another 8gb of ram in it, especially seeing as there are dual 970s in it, other than that its fine.

[Umegadem]

and this build is for gaming

I already own one GTX 970

What resolution are you playing at? nontheless, stick with the GTX 970s then, but double the SSD and maybe even the RAM.

"970 sucks, go with 390 Crossfire instead" that's horrible.

Well its true and you get more for your money with R9 390 compared to 3.5 GB 970 which they shamelessly advertise as 4GB

Not this shit again. Depends on OPs resolution. anything up to 1440P is fine with it, i know it from my own experience.

 

However the point is that OP already has a 970 and would just loose time and money by going to different cards.

He purchased the 970 already.

criticize it all u want, just dont go too mean

Asus Z170-A or MSI Z170A KRAIT GAMING for the motherboard. You don't need that expensive motherboard. For the money you save on

 

that motherboard, You can get the double sized SSD.

 

EVGA G2/GS series for the power supply. They are cheap but better.

[Umegadem]

What resolution are you playing at? nontheless, stick with the GTX 970s then, but double the SSD and maybe even the RAM.

probably will go up to 1440p or 4k soon

[KamiKatze]

hmmm. you may experience some inconveniences due to the lack of VRAM on these cards. And since DirectX 12 - which would allow combining VRAM instead of maintaining it - is still a long time away, i would recommend either seriously reading up on 970 SLI at 4k resolutions to be sure what you're getting into, or get rid of the card alltogether and go with a 980 Ti instead.
