Ok, I have 2 questions to talk about here, one related to GPUS & Displays, and one that should go under CPU's. So recently I started saving up for my 2015 February build that consists of SLI 980's and an i7 5930k. Ok so I guess I will ask the question that is actually related to the topic first. So i've been hearing horror stories about SLI. I have heard that some things don't like SLI and will run extremely glitchy and freeze up. For example, I have heard that the 980's in sli have alot of stuttering on BF4 Ultra. Can someone tell me if this is true? And also for the second question, I have heard the 5930k will give me more a performance boost than the 4790k if I am going SLI. Is this also true? I really don't want to have to spend a whole bunch of extra money just to get the X99 platform, as it is around a $1000 dollar increase from what I have been building. I have heard the 4790K can NOT support two GTX 980S but the 5930k can. Thanks for answering

Thanks. And the reason I am getting 2 is because I am ordering a 144hz monitor (cant wait) for 1080p. And also would the 5930k like REALLY kick the 4790k's a** in gaming and video editing?
