I hear that the cpu doesn't work with sli and the motherboard, because one pcie would be 16x and the other 8x,
might sound stupid but i dont know much about computers

GTX980Ti in sli are pretty good for 4k performance, should have no problem getting 60fps+ on max settings, though some games you might need to turn off AA, not that you will miss it at 4k resolution.
Nice setup, but why do you have 8 fans?

Hi,
My advice is to rethink this and base it around a good GSYNC monitor.

4K resolution rarely looks much better than 2560x1440 but you need a lot more processing power to drive that resolution. IMO you would be far better off with something like THIS:

Acer Predator (IPS, 2560x1440, 27", GSYNC, 144Hz, 4ms).

Not only does this go above 60FPS but using GSYNC you can have minimal lag while also having no screen tear (you can't do both on a regular monitor).

Other:
I would also just get a single EVGA Hybrid GTX980Ti if going GSYNC. Also, the number of case fans seems a bit excessive. You don't really need any at all since the case has them. No need to replace radiator fans.

Summary:
GSYNC is the biggest issue. You would have a much better gaming experience using even a single GTX980Ti with the above GSYNC monitor than having 2x980Ti on a 4K monitor.

Of course you don't have to game at 4K resolution on a 4K monitor, but if you get a 4K monitor you can't go above 60FPS so the GSYNC I listed is arguably the best gaming monitor you can buy (because it's not just GSYNC but also high refresh IPS).

I'd would rather get a 4k moniter for the "full experience" i mean im payin for the best possible setup, and im getting the gtx 980ti sli for that reason. and do you have any input on the cpu issue i mentioned
