Hey everyone,

I'm a game developer and my goal is to get a good mix of workstation and gaming performance with this build.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/V7CmZL

Things I'm specifically interested in are
- Does the ram fit with the heat sink I picked?
- Am I good at 650W or should I go more?
- Anything else I under/overcosted?

Good build. I just added a better psu that is also SLI ready if you ever want another 980
