I am running 3 GTX 980s (reference design cooler - blower type)

I need a large deep case that is great for airflow to keep the 980s under 80C.

Coming for a Corsair 800D - Would also be happy to mod this, no idea where to start though.

ASUS Maximus Extreme MB
LGA 1155 CPU
Noctua big and massive dual fan heatsink
6 HDD
1 Blu Ray player
1500 W PSU

I had the 900D on my Build List last year .... then the Enthoo Primo came out and it was all over. Cheaper, best fans on market. It took home the Case of the Year award from Computex for a reason. I have one with 15 140mm fans (420 + 280mm radiators). Check the reviews....most mention nothing comes close in its price range.

Your GPUs would run a lot cooler with non reference designs (MSI Recommended). Three 980s don't put out all that much heat .... ya talking 870 watts total from system tops. I'd use a Seasonic X-1250 ... well i did put one in my Primo :)

An 900d or an Cosmos 2 would be good, but I personally wouldn't rin 3 cards at one time, I woulg get one good one, at the price of 980's right now, personally I would get something like a Titan Z or a radaeon 295x2
