Yes for 1080p. And it'll smash all other programs. Don't forget to buy some Corsair SP fans to replace the stock H100i ones. The stock ones are really loud.

I noticed the absence of a SSD. You really should get a 250GB one. It makes a huge difference in the system's performance. You'll feel the difference immediately and not to mention the read and write speeds.

Less expensive motherboard, but still a good overclocker and fits the color scheme. Cheaper version of the same video card. You don't need an 850w Psu, a 650w will power two 970's in SLI and have room for overclocking. Added the SSD, dropped down to the WD Blue HDD, but if you want the better warranty, the Black isn't that much more money. You won't notice a difference in load/seek times though.

You think the motherboard is good as the MAXIMUS VII HERO? What's the difference between the graphics cards?

I think that you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between motherboards. A review site might be able to eke some difference out in some way, but a user, even overclocking, isn't going to tell a difference. The difference in graphics cards is simply brand, and their own cooling system. Gigabyte makes some really good cards, and it's cheaper, so no reason to spend more money than you have too.

This'll probably do well with GTA V 1080p@High. However, you need an entirely different caliber of computers for AutoCAD if you're planning to do it professionally and looking for GPU acceleration.

1. Fully Modular - A fully modular PSU is a PSU that has fully disconnecting cables. These are the number one choice for sleevers and modders as it makes cleaning up a computer easy and sleeving effective and easier.

Advantages: The advantages to this are clear - each cable can be removed and then sleeved and only the cables you want can be used. One thing to keep in mind is that the pinout (cable arrangement) is set by the PSU maker on the PSU side, what I mean by this is that all PSU makers use their own pin out on the end that plugs into the powersupply. For this reason cables cannot be switched from PSU to PSU unless it is the same PSU or PSU model family. (and sometimes even this is not true) Each PSU maker lists or will make available the pinout if asked or looked on their site. Also using a modular PSU gives you the ability to easily make custom length cables by making your own.

Disadvantages: You have an OEM pin out and most likely split wires that will need to be made into a Y split to get rid of double wires. Also you have two ends that will need to be cleaned up and sleeved perfect so attention to detail is a must.

2. Semi-Modular - A Semi-Modular PSU is a PSU that has a both hardwired and cables that can be removed. Typically the hardwired cables are the 24pin and an 8pin eps.

Advantages: The advantages to this are not having to clean up both ends of the cable for the 24pin and 8pin eps. It also still allows you to remove the cables you will not use.

Disadvantages: Losing your warranty due to the limited options on sleeving methods. Takes a bit more work to get a clean result.

OP, are you 3D modeling as a professional! Reply to me too!!!
This build is essentially a workstation build; the GPU is as good as the Mac Pro's D300, and the R9 270X/HD 7970.

3D modeling is mostly done on a Window's PC, I don't see many people using Mac Pro's for programs like Solidworks, Rhino, etc. Correct me if I am wrong though! I am interested in building a similar purpose rig (3D modeling and gaming).
