	Looks good to me. Don't know the monitor/s you'll be using, but that is a strong build. Definitely shouldn't be any heating issues. Good luck.

	Very nice build, I'd swap out the titan for 2 980's if it was my rig, or even 3 980's if you still want the 12 gigs of graphics, but thats just my preference, you'll get all the performance you want out the single titan.

	980 SLI faster, more expensive Titan X slower than 980 SLI, but cheaper, and won't have SLI issues ( which I have experienced from time to time) Then there's 980 TI SLI, but too soon to know how that's going to pan out?
