Graphics Card for 1440p

[SirStabalot]

So to start off I am very new to building pcs (I have been an xbox gamer for a while), this will be my first build so please correct me on anything I get wrong... So I am looking to build a pc for 1440p gaming at high settings. I think the most taxing thing I plan on doing with it is playing skyrim with some very nice texture and lighting mods. The build that I currently set up is this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/x3v3P6 but I have some worries. First off I went with the 980 ti since I want to max things out at 1440p and the benchmarks seemed to indicate that was the way to go. I realized for a similar price i could crossfire two 390s or two 290xs would either of these be better options especially considering the 390's 8gb of vram for the future (and yes I know crossfire wont increase my vram). I am also worried about my cpu bottlenecking my card, will the i5 4960k be enough? I would appreciate really any feedback on this.

 

ps. This is an aside and note but should I be buying a mobo and cpu with an LGA1151 socket instead so that I can upgrade in the future? Thanks!

 

Oh and my budget is around <$2000

stick with the 980Ti

 

Crossfire 390 or 290X are nice to have but they are a pain if the games dont support CrossFire

You are better of getting a single card solution , Crossfire will use more power and only makes sense for multiple high res displays

The 980ti is the correct choice, never crossfire/sli cards when 1 card can win the day, also that psu is kinda crap
