Have you thought about just getting one GTX 970 for now and adding a second one later?

A single GTX 970 should be enough for 1-2 years at least

If you change the CPU cooler to a coolermaster evo 212 youd save about 40 bucks

I get that but i was just proposing a way to save money. The evo is a great cooler and would have been fine. No argument though it is better.

The 5820k is a completely different socket. And if you're spending $1800 on a PC then you really should get an SSD, they are just so much better than a HDD for boot times, load times, overall 'feel' of the PC...

Which gigabyte G1 board do you want? The G1 gaming ($285) or the G1 Sniper ($142)?
