What resolution are you going to play in?

What kinda games are you going to play?

[Wouterrinos]

don't buy two 980's, just don't

Buy one 980ti

[brob]

What case?

 

A 2x8GB memory kit would leave room for an upgrade. Actually 2x4GB would likely be more than enough.

1440p with a side monitor that's only 1080p and all the ones I can get my hands on

I agree Why would you buy two 980's when you can get 980 ti. BTW what are you getting this pc for?

SLi is full of problems, you can still wait for Pascal or just get the 980Ti.

They are just a huge waste of money though. You might as well get a Titan X. Even though many of the people will tell you that a 980Ti is about the same except for the number of cuda cores. Even though you are a fps hoard you dont need this extreme of a build for gaming. I could maybe see a build like this for video editing and stuff but the 980s are just not needed.

[Aereldor]

Found a great deal on a 4k IPS 5ms FreeSync monitor, so I went 390x crossfire instead of 980 Ti SLI. Saved some money too.

don't get 4x4gb ram, theres no quad channel on Skylake.

 

Added a 980ti, swapped the PSU, 1000w is overkill (I know check my sig lol) and buy windows from G2A etc

 

With the money saved there and the 1 less 980 I was able to add in the new RoG Swift IPS Gsync monitor

[Dzzope]

How about this... IPS 23" with the IPS ROG Swift (144hz gsync 1440) a 500GB M.2 drive, a 980ti, a 750W EVGA P2, (it's enough for sli 980 Ti's with overclocks) and an extra TB of storage..
