Building my first PC and cannot decide on whether to get one MSI Twin Frozr 980 or get two MSI Twin Frozr 970s. Most benchmarks for these cards do not include this resolution (3440 x 1440). I know its a bit weird, but the 21:9 monitors just look so sick to me. What do you guys think? I plan on playing games such as Borderlands TPS, Battlefield, Tomb Raider, and Skyrim.

SLI will give you better performance for only 100$+~ more. Of course you have to deal with heat and games that don't support SLI but most newer titles it should scale very well.

Two 970s is pretty good. If they had offered them with the NTTVM cooler I would have bought a pair.

Guesstimating:
3940x2160 = 8.3 million pixels BF4 at 40-50FPS with 970 SLI.
3440x1440 = 4.95 million pixels, could probably get to 60FPS
