what is better for 4k? 2 r9 295x2 in crossfire or 4 gtx 980 in sli? Money is not a problem.

A 2 way SLI GTX 980 has pretty much the same performance as an R9 295x2. So if you are talking about quad SLI, then I don't belive it will have nah sweat running 4K maxed out for any games above 60FPS.

Don't forget if you do a quad SLI, I highly recommend a 1500W PSU.

will heating be a problem? I dont want to watercool either. Iam more like run like the wind kind of person

Well if money isn't an issue, then I highly recommend a water cool build. If you are afraid, then you could get a professional to assist you in your region.

But I don't see the reason to have a quad SLI. A two way SLI can run 4K without a problem.

What are the final specs you have now? Make sure you have a suitable PSU.

i will buy a 2 way sli. I dont like watercooling because one of my friend's computer was damaged due to leakage. I will show you the specs shortly

Recommendations:

-Change the RAM to a 1600MHz because your CPU can only support up to 1600MHz. And also get dual channel.

-Have at least 1TB of HDD storage.

-Your power supply will do fine for a 2 way SLI, but not a three way or quad SLI. So ifyou do plan to do a quad SLI, then get a 1500W PSU. But I believe a 1200W can do too.
