This excludes the part I am having the most trouble deciding on the gpu. With the results of the 970 it has made be think. I was previous going to buy either one 780 or r9 290x. Now I think either a single or sli 970 will be optimal due to price. Lastly can someone please explain to me if paying an additional price for an x99 system is worth it. My build would be $200 less with a z97: i7 4790k, 16gb ddr3
