Hi so let me preface this build by explaining my reasoning for a build of this power. It is not for the looks or just to "get the girls", this will be a legitimate build not only for work, but video gaming as well as video rendering. I went with the parts I did because ,as much as I know I hate and most of you probably hate, I wanted to future proof my build so that if one GPU went out id still have the other one chugging along. I wanted to get that out of the way so people weren't up my ass about the parts of this build

Now my main question is to the water coolers out there and the parts that are listed as custom parts in the pc partpicker link here: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/noobsniper/saved/qkytt6 I would like to know whether or not I have all of the necessary parts for water cooling 2 gpus and a cpu. I also want to know if i should go with a rigid or flexible tubing for my watercooling loop. (this is a first time build) Also should I just wait until EKWB releases their water blocks for the 970 and drop the two 980s down to 970s or just shoot for the 980s. This question is more directed to straight pc building and it is if SLI is really worth it for such a high end card like the 980's and If i were to run SLI would I notice anything different about performance with these cards. I would also like clear cut evidence for this and this may be hard to prove because from my own research there is not a lot of stuff on the 980s yet.

Thanks you everyone for your answers and help at this stage I will really only following the suggestions of people who are answering what I asked. Sorry if this comes off as rude but I really am close to building this computer and am not changing many components

@i7Baby, it greatly depends on precisely what you're doing. The moment you get modelling in there (e.g. CFD or stress analysis for structures), the processing requirements go up massively.

I would've got an ASRock Z97 Extreme 6 or Asus Z97 Maxiumus Hero mobo.

And GSkill Ares ram. Corsair Dominator Platinum is too expensive. I would've got 1866 1.5v cl9 ram.

I would've only got a Corsair 750D case. The 990D is too big.

I would've just got an evga Supernova 750W gold PSU. It'll do for 2 x 980's.

I wouldn't get any extra case fans till I've tried what comes with the case.

You need to sketch out the loop(s) along with hoses and fittings, to help qualify your fittings list.

Personally, I'd just use a Noctua DH14 or Corsair H100i for the CPU and choose Cards with good cooling eg Asus.

But it looks like you're into bling.

1. The work I focus on is the usage of CAD for drafting as well as music production and as I said above video rendering

2. I play mostly Diablo 3 right now because I have a craptastic laptop but once I build this computer I plan to play BF4, The Crew, The Division (if it ever comes out) and a few other less system intensive games like solitaire and minesweeper,

3 Yes on the overclocking but most likely only the cpu but maybe the vgas depend on how comfortable I am on doing tat

I hate to tell you dude but unless you actually use CAD for work do not comment. The higher the speed the faster images will be able to render in CAD therefore there is indeed a reason for oc and just because those are the minimum requirements doesnt mean they are the best parts for the job. So if you wouldnt mind because I really dont know if you are trolling or not but I am trying to get some information some of which you are giving me is false. So please stop commenting on this thread.

You know to tell you the truth I set the guidelines of what I wanted to hear in my first paragraph and now you are upset that I told you that I didnt want those suggestions so you are doing everything in your power to not be salty about the whole situation.

Ok so lets go ahead and go over your pc build to see what you are running and then we can see what we can scaledown for your build depending on what you do Profanity removed. Please keep it clean. - SS

There's a big gap between what the OP has proposed and what AutoCAD recommends. (The OP hasn't said what package he's using).

The i7 4790k is fine. Two gtx 980's seem overkill. I'd say one 970 or 980 would be more suitable.

Then there's the rest of y suggestions above.

As I said, I think he'd be able to put together a suitable build for half his $5000.

The other two monitors are cheaper and slightly smaller, if you don't mind. The 200mm fan is for the case, the 140mm is for the cpu cooler.

Is that your own opinion? Because if it is cool no one wanted to hear your opinion on my water loop. I created the water loop to keep the components cooler and potentially extend the livelihood of the components.
