Hey everyone,

Basically I have absolutely no previous experience with building a PC. I've done some research into what components to get, but i want some advice from experienced builders. I'm looking to build a PC which can easily handle games like skyrim, and assetto corsa on max settings. Budget isn't something I'm too worried about, I'm looking to spend around £2k but can stretch it if it means getting the best performance. The budget doesn't include a monitor, mouse or keyboard.

Any help or ideas on what to get would be greatly appreciated :)

Three 980 is crazy. Specially when Directx 12 kicks in. Get not more than 2x SLI. I'd use a water cooler as well and get a 2tb HD instead. 750W is enough for 2x 980, but I'd put more power on that for 3x SLI. Seriously.
