He has a burning desire to own the Domm plats I don't know why and it's a tad more efficient when you have 4 rather than two. Though, I didn't go full 980 Ti because I figured it might just be a bit much since I don't know how often he would game on it and the idea of two cards in one system was quote "Friggin awesome!" to him.  So I might have to go single card.

although I see what your point is, because to be honest SLI or CF looks awesome indeed, but won`t be better in almost all cases than one 980ti.

The 980ti will also be more stable, which is very important, especially for a server

Depends on what E5 you go with. An E5 around the same class as a 5820K will likely be a bit cheaper and more reliable but either work.

I don't know about the server part, but for 2k to 3k you could easily get 980 Tis in SLI.

E5 1620 or 2620 is what I was gonna end up with.

As I said, I'm not a real expert when it comes to servers, but the amount of CPU power you could get for this kind of money is pretty ridiculous.
