I am looking to build a gaming pc to play and record modded minecraft with a 128x texture pack and was wondering if this build is overkill or not( do I need the gtx 980?) all the builds I have seen that do play and record the type of games I would play have a gtx 780 and an i7, is it necessary. Thanks for any help in advance!
