Hello, building my first PC, I was wandering if I use 2 GTX 970's can I use 2 Intel 750 SSD, would like to use the 800GB for a boot drive and the 1.2 TB for storage. Here is a list
Asus X99 Deluxe
i7 5960X
2 Gigabyte 970 extreme gaming GPU
Corsair 8x8 64gigs of DDR4
Corsair 115 cooler
Corsair AX1200 PSU
Intel 750 series 800GB
Intel 750 series 1.2TB

If anybody knows where I can get the information on how to do this- Please post a link here. Also do I need to run sli for the video cards. I'm a day trader and will be using 8 monitors. Thank you

Your setup looks pretty good, but a couple notes:
800 MB is not enough for a boot drive. You'll need at minimum 32 GB for a Windows boot drive, more is better.
Your power supply is way overkill. A good 650 Watt or better unit is all you need. Try to pick one from tier 1 or 2 from here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
You may need to increase your RAM voltage to make sure 8 sticks runs stable.
You'll be running the video cards in SLI unless you plan on using many (6+) monitors. You said you're using 8 monitors, so you can run 4 monitors from each card easily when not using SLI.

Thank you Starcruiser....I had a typo for the boot drive it's a 800GB. I'm still looking to see if I can use the 2 Intel 750 series ssd...I would like to use the 800GB for a boot drive and the 1.2TB for a storage drive. Or if that is not possible what could I use ?

And also thank you for the video card usage.....I didnt think that I needed to run SLI when using 8 monitors

I have been using m.2 at 500gb for several months with no issues. I only have the installed programs on my "C Drive". But you might have a good reason for your comment. If so please share. When I needed help on my last build I got very little. So Bsinks can be thankful.

I'm also working on a new build. Rampage V Edition X99. I have the board and waiting for the CPU to drop.

Bsinks, did you consider the M.2 for your boot drive. I have a Samsung 950Pro and love it.
