Fury x w/ h100i?

Okay. So I want to give the crossfire 270x's I have running to my brother for his new build, and I've saved up enough to get any card on the market. I run on AMD Crossfire @ 5760x1080, and my case the the Corsair 500R, and I have a h100i installed on my i5-4670K. Power isn't a problem.

 

Basically, the questions I have are:

  1. This is my build at the moment: http://i.imgur.com/Be14pB5.jpg and the h100i radiator takes up all of the top. Do I take out my only exhaust fan at the back to put my fury x cooler there, or remove the top drive bay and have it coming through the front of the case, and install the card on the second PCI-e slot to ensure it is above the card?
  2. Will I need any adapters or whatnot to run my crossfire setup? My monitors don't have Display Port slots on them, and the fury x has 1x HDMI and 3x Display Port
  3. Is the fury x even the best option? Do I wait for the fury x2?

I'd get a GTX 980ti. Personal preference- plus it typically performs better.

For me, AMD cards are personal preference. I found crossfiring with my cards a piece of cake, never had any problems with the cards and am satisfied with AMD as a company. The 980ti is a viable option I suppose though.

It would get very cramped in there. The 980Ti would be a better solution as you don't need to mount any radiators, unless you have different models of monitors, in that case I see why you would go AMD. 

PC is Intel Core i5 6400, GIgabyte H170 Gaming 3, Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x4GB 2400Mhz ,Sandisk Ultra Plus 128GB, WD Blue 1TB, NZXT S340, ASUS Geforce GTX 960. Fractal Design Tesla R2 650W. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/793XNG. Graphics card choices don't always have to be dictated on performance. If you want the game stream and power consumption of the GTX 970 get that. If you want raw performance of the R9 390 get that. In the end we are all gamers, so what if your buddy gets an extra 5 fps?

Just out of curiosity, why is having varying monitors with Nvidia a problem? I have two different monitors, but they all have the same input/output and are all ASUS.

They just don't allow it, I dont know why.

I've had 4 different monitors hooked to my NVIDIA GPU's with no problems- and my brother has 3 different monitors hooked up to his 980ti with no problems.
