In the USA, the GTX 1070 will be $380 or about 25,500 Rs. The 1080 will be about $600 US dollars, or about 40,200 Rs. You could save some money and still have an excellent build by going with something like the Asus Ranger or Z170 Pro-Gaming.

Even if you don't get the 1070, the 980ti will continue to drop in price as the 1070 hits the shelves.


You chose some very high end components. As I mentioned. I would wait for the GTX 1070/1080 to arrive. Your RAM is good, but the G. Skill Ripjaws V was formulated for Skylake. I doubt you would notice any difference however.
 
If you are inexperienced I would advice against an overclocking build, it takes a lot of patience and requires a lot of knowledge to get to a good and stable overclock. If you end up not overclocking you would be paying a lot more to get same performance of cheaper non-overclocking builds.

For that monitor (1920x1200 @ 60 hz) a gtx 980Ti is overkill, a single GTX 970 (or 290/390) will perform virtually the same because of the 60 fps limit of the monitor.

thanks for the advice buddy...right now I am not looking forward to overclock anything because I'm totally new to customised builds. But later I would like to do that. I'm making this build future proof for 2 years or so that's why I have chosen these high-end components. I would be very happy if u can suggest me a monitor suitable for this video card.
Also ,one more thing these components are compatible, isn't it? or is there any component which i can add or change for future proof gaming ... :)

hi ! buddy.... I would love to do that...but my budget will not allow me to do that...cost of titan X is very high and i can imagine what will be the cost of this beast GTX1080.....I watched several videos on youtube..comparing gtx 980ti and titan the performance was more or less similar...but there was a huge difference in cost...thats the reason I have chosen gtx980ti.

so for the time being am I good to go this config. ???
also can u suggest me a good DVD hardware for this build..

thank you :)
