GTX970 in SLI vs GTX980
So I am putting together a new system and recently figured out what direction I want to go in, so I am either going to get, 2 GTX970's buying one now for my setup and then another one in a few months.

or ill get a GTX980 what would be the better option ? I do use 3 monitors so I would think that having two cards in SLI would be the better option.

That's a personal choice , It's not worth it to me.

I'm getting 2 of the EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked ACX.

That is great, do you think the EVGA GeForce GTX 970 FTW ACX 2.0, is worth its 20 euro's more in price compared to the normal EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked ACX. Because the release is only a few days away, I mean considering i am keeping the setup for the next 2-3 years waiting an extra week is not to bad.

Yes it is and it's a fantastic power supply.
Best 850 ON THE MARKET.

That EVGA PSU that I put in the pcpart list will that be sufficient for 2 of these cards in the future ? I can buy that and the 970 coming week, to solve my power problems.

I would wait to run the card till you get a PSU with the proper PCIE power connections.

Don't use an adapter with that card.

It does not however have 2 6-pin connectors coming out of it just the 1, but I also have A molex -> 6-pin cable laying around, would I be able to use that to connect the 970 till I upgrade to my new PSU.



Btw this is the build im working towards, any advise on that http://pcpartpicker.com/user/SaintReborn/saved/hJNYcf

Your PSU has 1 - 20 amp and 1 - 18 amp 12V +rails , so you should be able to run the 970 till you can upgrade.
