my budget is a strict $1750 Canadian I have three builds from Pcpartpicker that I went over but I need the communities help deciding.

Please evaluate my builds and tell me what to change or how you would change it.

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/T8G2zy (Build B)

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/9wdMyc (Build C)


Sidenotes:

I'm not looking for an SLI specific build because I don't see the necessity

Would like to have an SSD

Need 16Gb of Ram for intensive rendering in photoshop as well as gaming

Don't select a different case. I already have the 780t and can put $1750 on top of that.

Build B will definitely own everything out there.

Or get a 980 on build B instead of sli 970 so you can make it 1700 even

Build B is fine

and a cooler like the Mugen 4 or the Noctua NH-U12S

Is there any other products I have on there that are low quality? Should I look at getting a 4790k? Because it puts me only $20 over

Honestly, it would be better if you ask us to build one. This is a build that is similar to mine: (I am also Canadian)

One thing that is kind of sad is that lack of an SSD. Instead I put in a BLACK SERIES HDD for great performance from a hard drive. SSDs do not add performance. Only faster load times in OS or games. Hope you like it :)  Oh and when boxing day/black friday comes you can pick up an SSD for pretty chep! Feel free to ask questions :D
