Which Gaming PC?

[ThatZiast]

I am building a gaming PC for 1080p. I have two builds, but am unsure which one to go with (assuming I don't get a Pascal card). The first build has more firepower with a 980 Ti and a G-Sync monitor. The second one is a little less powerful with a 980 and no G-Sync monitor, but instead has water-cooling and...wait for it... a 1TB SSD! And a cooler looking case as a side note. I'm really hoping that a 980 will still be enough to crush titles at 1080p for years to come, but I'm just not sure that is the case. And G-Sync would be amazing... But a 1TB SSD! Which build would you recommend and why? Thanks!

A 980 would be enough for 60Hz @ 1080p, but personally, I'd buy neither at this point with new videocards from both vendors due to be released and because of the uncertainty of how any Maxwell videocard will perform with low level API's, especially considering the lack of hardware based asynchronous compute.

Oh, and the SuperNOVA NEX series is like the shitty PSU line that came before the SuperNOVA series.

I say the 980 ti build, cause... 980 ti, duh. But seriously 980 ti is a beast, and one of the few cards that can run 144hz on ultra settings, and a 1tb ssd is cool, but won't really improve proformance, as long as you have your so on a ssd. BUT PLEASE WAIT FOR PASCAL.......
