I am not sure if I want to add another graphics card, do you suggest it? If so, what should I use for said build? What is overkill if I don't?

Thanks.

I have bought some parts but it doesn't matter much to me. (I can sell them or use them in another build)
It will be used for recording games and Google Chrome

-No need for excess thermal paste.
-Sabertooth motherboards are expensive and over-rated. This one is much cheaper and overclocks well.
-Dropped all un-necessary fans.
-Cheaper and a bit stronger gpu.
-Better quality case.
-Cheaper psu, just as high quality, still allows for SLI.
-Instead of triple monitors, I opted for a single 1440p monitor. It has much better image quality over triple monitors.
-Cheaper keyboard and mouse, they are just as good. The CM Quickfire Pro is more sturdy than the Gigabyte one. However, it's not fully backlit, it's only partial backlit. Also, it doesn't have any un-necessary features (macro keys, usb, wrist rest, headphone/mic jack). If you do need those features, you can probably find a better keyboard option though.
-You don't need that mic. Your headset already has one.

Okay, Thanks, I will just use my Kraken's mic and see if that does the job, I can always get the Snowball after.
This guy is great!
