I am still ordering/saving for parts for my new build. My question: What brand and model GTX 980 Ti should I get? I already have an X99 motherboard and I'm getting the i7 5930K for the 40 PCI lanes. They're going to be in 3 way SLI. To start out, they're going to be air cooled, but after a few months, I am going to run a liquid cooling loop that encompasses my CPU, GPUs, and perhaps some of the other components. I have seen benchmarks that name the MSI Gaming 6G as the best performing of the 980 Ti variants (factory clock/air cooled). I really like ASUS and they have the ROG Poseidon that has an integrated water block. It's substantially more than most others, though. EVGA has their Hybrid model, which has a built-in closed loop cooler and only cost an extra 50 dollars over an ASUS STRIX or MSI Gaming 6G. I do plan to OC, but I don't care to break any records. I am just looking for the most bang for my buck (up to $700).
So, to summarize:
What brand/version 980 Ti will give me the most bang for my buck? I want to liquid cool it and I will overclock it.
