Why did you go with a gtx 980 as opposed to a 1060 6gb or even a 1070?

 

edit: also, why so many hard drives?

Well first i got it off from a friend of mine for a good bargain, he only had it for a year and the unit was never been overclocked before buying it, the goal was really to get a 1070 but considering the price of it back then when i was still canvassing i just had to let it go and get the 980 for $200.. And also since i have no plans yet in moving up to 2k or 4k reso gaming as of this moment.

 

As for the drives, well basically the contents of those drives are mainly Movies and Series (since i personally want to have copies rather than streaming online.)

Those white cables look great with the rest of the build. How are you liking the g502?

Yezzer. White Theme build eversince. Too bad the white variant of the RAMs were not available when the time i made the purchase. As for the G502, so far so good for a person coming from the G500.  DPI on the fly is really helpful when it comes to playing FPS games.
