Team is not that great of a brand of memory, I prefer GSkill myself.

Zotac is not a good brand at all for well anything, Should stick with ASUS, Gigabyte, EVGA, MSI on GPUs, especially on high end cards like that.

While the PSU is a perfectly fine PSU, you way over-payed. Should be able to get a gold rated for just over $100.

I can't tell what's going on with PCPartpicker, but for that processor you will be perfectly fine with an H87 or h97 chipset motherboard.

The PSU is great, but pricey. You might be able to find something a little cheaper. :)

Edit. It seems to be something around SLI, since if I choose the same processor and a H97-based motherboard, then I can't add a second video card. That's strange, that does not fit my understanding of the chipsets.

Here is revised build with better brands. 850w would not be much wiggle room for 2 980 ti in sli so I got you 1000w psu.

Also upgraded monitor to ASUS ROG with 1ms response time and rest of the performance specs are same.

You may well be right, that's about the conclusion I'm coming to as well. But that's not how I recollect things to be. I'm not sure that is an issue with PCPartPicker or I am just plain wrong. I'll look into it a bit more.

Btw What if i have 1000w PSU and run only 1 card is that a problem? beacuse i will probably not have enough money to buy all at once so i will just buy one card then later upgrade to 1 more
