So the thing is that I have currently already purchased all these parts for my very first pc build, as you may notice the GPU is missing. I haven't been able to decide which one to buy. I am torn between SLI'ing two MSI GTX 970 Gaming or buying a single Gigabyte GTX 980 ti G1 Gaming. Obviously everyone's first reaction is to say a single GPU is much better, but my concerns are that SLI is supposed to become every time more optimized and the fact that the Oculus can run one GPU on each eye makes it a very attractive prospect to me. Opinion's? Nothing can be changed from the rest of the build it's already on its way.

Hi.

Get the 980Ti over 970SLI.

Another suggestion: Instead of the Acer XB270HU, get the XB271HU, it's an IPS panel. If you have the money, try getting an SSD, that system deserves a fast drive. You don't need a large one, an 256GB or even 128GB would do, provided that you store big files and install games in the HDD
