What game is gonna use 64GB of RAM? That isnt good bang for buck at all, step down to 16GB, that will be plenty.

And don't buy a 980ti now, wait just a little longer for the custom cooled 1080's to come out.

I just included 1 monitor since i wasnt sure if you were okey with getting different size monitors. Personally i would grab a Dell P2414H to have has secondary but that one is smaller so it will look off. And surround gaming is not worth it imo but i dont have that kind of expendable income.

we refer to them as aio water coolers... just btw,

also fo that buget, cpu and mobo it makes perfect sence... you could probs get close to 1ghz oc, which seems worth it to me, neverlone the cooler cpu temps

My rig: r7 1700 @ 3.9/1.35v, 16gb ddr4 3200, assorted rando SSDs, hx 1050, vega 64 1650/1025
