Help Building A PC!

[Unfamiliar]

I want to build a PC that can do some high level detail gaming, some Adobe Photoshop and HTML 5 coding. I don't mind if the case is ATX but I would like it to be a small form factor. I would like some flexibility and for it to be future proof with upgrades. I want to have an Sli setup on preferably a Gtx 970/980. 

 

Thanks for the help in advance.

 If any further information is needed please ask!

What's the budget, what country are you in and do you need peripherals, the OS and a/some monitor(s)? Also, welcome to the forums c:

no such thing as future proof first... also what is your budget

[Cereal5]

SLI, especially on last gen hardware, is not worth it. For the money you will spend on two GTX 980s, you could probably get a GTX 1080 and have the same performance when SLI scales well, and way better performance when it doesn't

 

Whats your budget? where are you located? do you need peripherals too?

[Djole123]

Any budget? Peripherals (monitor, keyb, OS, speakers)?

[Unfamiliar]

My budget is   £ 1000 and I have got monitors from previous build with peripherals. I am from the UK.

You won't be able to have a good SLI 970 system with a budget like that. What would be your second choice?

Two 970s alone would be half the budget.

Sorry, I meant I would buy another in the future and just have one for now.

Like I said in my reply before, GTX 970s are not worth SLI, I would know, I tried it. GTX 980 are also last gen hardware and since pascal is so much more advanced I wouldn't even bother.

 

I got you an mATX motherboard with a mini case, nice small form factor

While I agree with what you say that a 1080 > 980 SLI, I have to say, when SLI scaled well, a 980 SLI would get noticeably better results then a 1080.

So when you're playing rise of the tomb raider lol. That's about it. GTAV sort of. Witcher sort of. other games like far cry are eh for SLI scaling. Still not worth it over all. If it were 1070 SLI then maybe, cause they easily beat out 980s

[Unfamiliar]

Could anyone suggest a build with a ATX case?

Yeah, I know. a 1080 would deinfltey be better, and a 980 sli isn't worth it. I'm just saying, if SLI scaled well, a 980 SLI would win significantly.
