Hi all I will be ordering my last few parts for my new Gaming PC in January decided on pretty much everything.

i7 4790K [Already have just need remove from old motherboard]
16GB 1866MHz Ram [same above]
Asrock Z97M OC Formula Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard [new motherboard]
2xGTX 970 Cooler Design [http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-205-OK figured blower fans would help in my small case
EVGA SuperNova G2 750W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply
Bit Fenix Phenom Nvidia Special Edition White Micro ATX
1TB HDD

Just curious if people think I have picked the right 970's for my situation I've read quite a few things which say that Blower Fans are the best for small cases which my Phenom Micro ATX case certainly qualifies as.

PS hopefully Assassins Creed Unity is fixed when I finish my build in a couple of weeks time.

your link goes to the main OCUK page.

I just got 2 x Galax Ref GTX 970 and I think they are great but do get a bit noisy in gaming but reference is the only way to go for small cases plus you could always watercool

Oops just fixed the link missed the end bit off. Never done a water cooling build and not really sure my budget at moment would stretch to it but I suppose it's something to consider for the future.

Yeah I've heard the same about reference cards read quite a few forums that it certainly helps with the heating problem that happens when using small cases and SLI.

PS out of curiosity I see you have the 4K G-Sync how is that working for you with 970 SLI. I'm considering doing 1440p with mine.
 
970 sli will easily handle 1440p

but i wouldn't hold your breath for Unity being fixed!

Well I would certainly hope it will play good at 1440p. Hoping this gaming system I'm building will last me 1-2 years. I really hope Unity gets fixed to a playable rate. I've been wanting to play Assassins Creed games for a while last I played was AC2 I think, heard Assassins Creed Rogue is due out for PC soon as well so hopefully I will be able play all the way from Brotherhood to Unity.
