I'll be using it for gaming and maybe making YouTube videoshttp://pcpartpicker.com/p/jVysjX. Also should I use those cards in cross fire or get the single EVGA EVGA GTX980 Superclocked 4GB GDDR5
 
Solution
Few games can use more than 2-3 cores, so a 6 core cpu is somewhat of a waste.

If budget is any concern, I would favor using a i7-4790K and a Z97 based motherboard.

If you are gaming on a single monitor then a single GTX980 will be all you want.
With the money you save from the X99 build, you could pay for a second GTX980 if you ever needed it.

I also think a single 1tb ssd will perform equally but would be cheaper.
It is easier to manage one drive vs two.
