Just realized it also draws a LOT more power. This might really suck for my setup, it's brutally hot in my room all the time.

Makes sense, though I would be pretty pissed off. I just bought two 980 Ti cards!
Speaking of which, the 980 Ti is the biggest card I have seen in many years. It's nearly 11 inches long and with the ACX 2.0 adds a lot of weight. Beefiest card I think I have ever seen!
I just wish hdmi wasn't the only option for long cables.
Kind of kills the whole gsync thing for a lot of people.

So I'm building a $2000 beast for my brother in law tomorrow. He said he can't wait to load up Command and Conquer 3... sigh.
He also asked if Mad Catz was a good brand for his mouse... sigh.

I let him order the parts unfortunately. I wanted to be hands off on that shit, I ain't searching for the best deals and shit that was on him.
Oh well.

Yeah, just installed mine and with my 2500k and 980 Ti it is 12k also in normal Firestrike. Had dota open and some shit going on second monitor, etc... Still need to clean up some stuff and check out Precision X.
Also need to get a DP to HDMI adapater for my 3rd monitor. Or as I told my wife, "maybe I just need to look at a Gsync monitor"

Thoughts/recs? Purely gaming and porn. I'd like to keep it less than $1500.

Id dump the dvd drive unless you have a specific purpose for it, I havent had one in any of my computers for over 6 years now since steam/origin make them completely useless. Also go with a 512gb ssd at a minimum or else youre going to be constantly uninstalling and installing games on it.

So I am going to be getting two 980 Ti's, need some advice on the PowerSupply.
Here be my full rig:Intel Core i7-4790K, Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 Ti (2-Way SLI), Corsair Air 540 - System Build - PCPartPicker
I have all of that minus the GPU's and I left the PSU blank on purpose as I need to get my current one replaced anyways. So... what PSU should I get my bros?
I'm thinking this guy:SeaSonic Platinum SS-860XP2 860W
