1.) Is SLI-ing 1-2 years in the future with another GTX 970 viable? Or should I just ditch it when the time comes and get a whole new card? I'm set up to SLI, but if single card is fine then it could save me some money.
2.) Speaking of money, any places I could save on this build?
3.) Does it look good? anything that I'm doing wrong?
thanks for any help
