How much cheaper is the 980ti where you are? Cause if you can get more of those for the same price as the 2 titan x´s, would be worth.

The E5-2698v3 outperforms the 2699 and if I'm not mistaken Broadwell-E should be here very soon.  Just some things to think about.

980ti's are cheaper by around £200, but would i run into driver issues on more than dual SLI?

Are there any timescales on Broadwell-E ?

Q2 2016 if you're asking about the release date.  Not sure what you mean otherwise.

Possibly, but as you want to run Crysis 3 at 4k...
