Hello, this will be my first time building a gaming rig, so I am a novice when it comes to picking parts. Take a look at it and tell me what you think.
- Is their any part that is to overkill/underkill
- Should I get sli 980. If not now then is my system good enough to support the sli?
- is overclocking hard to do, I have never done it.
- is this system good enough for 1440p?
I don't own a 1440p monitor (yet), is it worth it? I have a pretty cheap 1080p right now. If I should get one then could you recommend a brand?
Could you also recommend a good looking case that would fit this? I was think NZXT ca-ph410-g1 Phantom 410 Mid Tower USB 3.0 Gaming Case Gunmetal with Black Trim
Thank you so much for your time.

Good build but you could go with 16GB of RAM and 1440p is nice but kind of expensive and the NZXT Phantom 410 would work but I would recommend a bigger case and SLI is not needed in the build right now and SLI depends on your motherboard.
