I am building a 1080p gaming PC. I want to be able to play most modern AAA titles and take full advantage of the 144hz. I originally planned to use a GTX 980 Ti but decided to go with two 970's in SLI instead. I plan to overclock the i5 to 4.4ghz. That's pretty much it. Any improvements /suggestions? Thanks!

Well, why not a 980Ti then? You could get it for the same price than two 970's. Also, consider waiting for Pascal/Polaris, they are really close to releasing them
