GTX 980 SLI is better. 3-way SLI can be dodgy at times.

2-way definitely better... 3-way can cause you some issues with not really using all the potential and things like that while 2-way is alot more efficient

Personally i think its a bit overkill. I suggest to first buy single gtx 980 or 970 and see if you need more.

But if you want to spend the money. Go on and get 980 2xSLI

Some will also depend on what CPU and ow many PCI-E lanes it can support, if one of the lower X99 CPUs 3 cards will take a big hit, you need a higher end CPU for 2 X x16, most are 8x8 in 2 way SLI and drop from there

What is the frequency and resolution of the display you are using? 1920x1080 @ 60hz = 1x gtx970 would be ample. Although I'm thinking you must be higher with a setup like yours. If so see how you go with 1 x gtx980 and add another if required.
