Add a second GTX 980 in SLI when / if you need more graphics muscle. Overclock as you please...

1. You don't need the 4790k for gaming so save $90 if you don't need Hyperthreading

2. MoBo beats $300 boards ... see rankings here
http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/cpu_mainboard/msi_z97_sli_krait_motherboard_review/12

3. Great price for 2133 CAS 9

4. Twin 970s are 50% faster than a 980

5. At this price range, nuthing else even comes close... built in Fan and LED control.

6. The G2 is a great PSU, but when they get on the shelves, I'd use this .... jonnyguru gave the 1050 model 10,0 build quality and performance ratings

7. Lose the optical if you don't need it

8. I assume you familiar w/ Win 7 ... no sense learning 8 then upgrading to 10 in 2 weeks

9. KB . Mouse are solid performers with aesthetics to match white case, tho all 3 come in black too.

10. Included best all in one cooler on market
