get a 6 core. you can cut alittle on the gpu and get a r9 270x or 280x instead of 970, don't worry you will be able to game on high settings! your main goal is to get a 6 core cpu and 16GB of RAM Intel core i7 5820k solid Z97 MB SSD r9 280x I believe 600w should be enough ofcourse you should get...

you are correct guys... my bad... modern times, you know...

intel makes motherboards too, but I haven't seen anyone buying them lately... anyway if you feel safe, then all is matters.

sorry I meant for a quad channel which your MB probably supports, you also improve timings so I would still suggest going with 4x4, with that said either way you want see any boost performance in games, but if you ask what is the better option is quad channel (4x4)

no actually you have a good build there... I would only suggest to get 4 sticks of 4GB 4x4 instead of 2x8. (for a dual channel) enjoy your new baby:)

may I ask you what is the cpu you are using? and if you are planning only to game on it? modeling? my friend why would you want to destroy 980? asingle 970 can be overclocked and perform as 980 on stock speed, with a single 970 you can run everything on ultra settings with 4k res, I don't know...

I own the asus 270x directcu ii top and its pretty solid... 1k runs everything on ultra and I get fps around 50-60, im not a gamer but it does its job I guess:) also the directcu edition runs at about 29-30c idle, and load I get about 60-62, so its pretty solid.

its only worth it if you got tons of money, its same as buying a Ferrari, the question is do you really need it and if you can afford it? I believe its about 20% faster, now you tell me if its worth it or not.

I don't see areason for SLI, with a gtx 970 you can run everything on ultra (anti aliasint motion blur and whatever you want) if you are looking to spend some money, than get a proper cpu (intel) and pair it with a solid MB. if you don't already have 8ram, get 4x2 or if you are not planning to...

what is your CPU and PSU? it does matter what PSU you are using as you would not want your expensive components to set on fire.

I would suggest you to keep the MB and get a 4690k, and also what people said replace the gpu to 970
