You have to click on everything manually and hit the blue "buy now" button.

I'd really really be looking at SLI 970s, looking at 1440p on a single 980 it gets around 50-60FPS generally in games and 970s on the LTT forums someone is getting 130-140FPS with SLI 970s. Maybe you could look at stulid's spec with possibly an i7 and SLI 970s, as I really think you won't be using that monitor to it's max

Have you used a GTX980 personally? how about a 1440P screen with one?

A 144HZ screen will still be refreshing its image at that rate whether its getting 144fps or 60 fps feed to it from the gfx card.

Gsync also means the monitor is refreshing only when the gfx card is telling it too, so smoother motion and zero tearing on screen.

Not personally, just thinking that monitor is 144Hz and 1440p so won't be pushed by the single 980? Just from what I've read online though, the 980 won't be enough

If I'm honest I think Shivy011 is right. Have a look at this.

If you had a 60hz screen then no problems really, but seeing as you're spending the money on that monitor....

I'd go with Stulids build but swap the 980 for 2 x 970.

Its Gysnc! it refreshes when the gfx card tells it too, thats why games with lower fps still look buttery smooth on it.

Gsync eliminates tearing, stutter (caused by having a fps lower than the refresh rate) and input lag.
 
But it will still be around the 60fps, shame on such a good monitor. And for the price it's not much more for 2 x 970's. I realise that not everything supports Sli straight away which could be frustrating.
 
But you won't see it at 60fps.

It eliminates the stutter caused by running below the refresh rate.
 
Ok, but seeing as the monitor is capable of syncing up to 144hz, you could get the 2 x 970 and then you'd be getting g-sync at around the 120fps instead of the 60fps. Surely that's better?

Must be, otherwise they may as well have made it a 60Hz panel?

There's a good video at pcper explaining gsync with tom Paterson from a year ago.
