Approximate Purchase Date: I expect to start buying components by no later than March.
Budget Range: $1,600. I can go over, but I don't want to go over too much.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, maybe some web surfing. I'll most likely just use it for gaming, though.
Are you buying a monitor: No, I will be using my TV.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: http://pcpartpicker.com/
Parts Preferences: CPU - Intel/MOBO - Asus or Gigabyte/Memory - G. Skill or Corsair/SSD - Not picky/HDD - Western Digital/Case - Not picky, just want something of good build quality w/ excellent airflow/PSU - Antec, Corsair or SeaSonic/Optical Drive - Not picky, just need something which will adequately perform it's function.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Yes
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: I know that the 4790K is excessive for gaming, but I really want a higher end i7. I shouldn't have to upgrade it for some time, and I can get one locally for under $279. I know that the 980 is overkill for a TV which only goes up to 1080p, but I plan on going to 4K later this year.
My primary concern is cooling. Will the stock cooling with this build be sufficient? I understand that when I add another GPU or decide to OC, I will need to look into more advanced cooling solutions, but will the stock cooling sufficiently cool the build in it's base form?
