This system will also allow you to add a 2nd 980 for SLI in the future if you desire.

tomshardwarenoob :

I support this build, and you should consider getting a gtx 970 instead of the 980. It costs less and, although there is a performance difference, it is like using a pound of C4 vs a stick of dynamite. They both get the job done, but the C4 is more expensive.

I guess their budget went up, the last post said they needed all that plus a copy of windows for $1000.
