    how to boot from CD without entering boot menu?

    Change the CD drive's sata cable port to the one labeled Sata_0 that's the one your computer automatically boots from given no other instruction to not do so. I don't know how to help the rest of your problem without saying "Buy another sata cable".

    Upgrade to i7-4790k

    The X99/2011-v3 and Z170/1151 are very different from the Z97 you use to run.

    A good monitor for my gtx 980

    I recommend this monitor. Sure it's on the smaller side of things compared to some of the MASSIVE monitors you'll see but it's nothing to laugh at either. https://www.amazon.com/Acer-G226HQL-21-5-Inch-Screen-Monitor/dp/B009POS0GS?ie=UTF8&tag=pcpapi-20 As you'll see it's $90 USD which is pretty...

    New crossfire user - Am I being bottlenecked?

    Scratch on "new" i7-3770k? Am I being scammed?

    This is really a nitpick case. There isn't a whole lot of evidence or reasonable conclusion that can be made on this because not a whole lot of people report what their CPU and Heatsinks look like out of the box.
