So I am building a 1440p gaming PC with a large budget of $2000. I wanted to have a monitor that is higher than 60fps because I play a lot of fps games, and even though I won't be able to achieve 144fps, I'll be able to get into the 80s 90s and about 100fps in some games (CS: GO, I'm looking at you). Instead of a 980 Ti, I'm thinking about going with 970's in SLI just because they seem to about match the performance of a 980 Ti and the two EVGA ones that I'm considering end up being slightly cheaper. I also plan to overclock the i5 to about 4.4ghz. Not much else to say. Any recommendations? Thanks! (I will add a Fractal Design Define S and Windows 10 to the build later)
As a side note, I will probably wait until Pascal is released and the GPU prices drop to buy whatever GPU (s) I end up deciding on. About how much should I expect the price to drop for a 970 or 980 Ti?
