Originally posted by DST4ME OC cpu on both to stage 1. evga 1080 are factory oced. they are the sc version. The rest sounds good.

Ok thank you for your time!

Ok what warranty do you recommend? 2 year parts?

Originally posted by DST4ME Its a personal choice really, I like to go with a 5 year part warranty tho I think now the longest you can get is 4., but I think 3 years is a good one.

Ok ty. What's your thoughts on just going SLI now? Or bumping up to a titan?

Originally posted by DST4ME If you are gaming at 1440p then the second 1080 would just sit there and produce heat. I would only get the sli when I go 4k and or need it. titan you need to put under lc and oc the heck out of it yourself to get 60fps and higher at 4k. for 1440p again it would be a huge waste. But at the end you need to decide what you like in your pc I just provide the facts/info.

Ok sounds good to me. TY
