Your build sucks though, 4x980s? Stupid.

Anything that can stress them will run out of VRAM. 2x 980ti would be a better choice, and cheaper.

Or even drop that silly 8 core CPU for a 6 core, and save some cash by halfing the ram, get rid of those SSDs, put a single 950 Pro 512GB in for booting, and a 6TB WD Black for games, use the cash you have saved and go 2x Titan X

Save some cash replacing the PSU with a Superflower (I say this as someone that owns the overpriced AX1500i) drop the blu ray rewriter.

Looks like you just went to a website, selected every most expensive option, and posted it here to pretend you were thinking about buying it.

Thanks for the suggestions.

It's actually a configuration I purchased, and now happily own.
 
I think this thread has served it's purpose. Can, a member of staff lock the thread, please.

Clearly some people for no apparent reason are getting uptight for no reason. I think if I have another related question, I'll ask on another OC forum.

See ya'.
