the second rig should be your go to, if you cut back on a few components you could throw in the 980 ti much better performance, good at 4k, or high fps at 1440p.

aye i was looking at the 980 ti, is it a big difference in performance? thanks for replying cuddles

yes, a large differnce, the 980ti could even go 4k although at 30 to 40 fps in most new games, Both are great for 1440p gaming but the 980ti will allow you to play at higher framerate and all settings at max, plus if you are going for 144hz monitor the 980ti should be your go-to. It's only around 150$ more and within 5% of the titan x so i say definitely go for it
