    That 750w PSU is underpowered. At least 2KW for those dual 980Ti's.

    Also that i7-4770k is underpowered, switch to a 5920K, and up to 32GB of ram to be future proof.

    Otherwise seems good.

    Looks good, I'd add a storage drive like WD Blue or Seagate Barracuda. There isn't a PSU there, 450-500w is enough

    Looks good though. If it's a purely gaming rig, an i5-K would be sufficient, no advantage to the i7 really, but up to yourself.

    If it's for gaming and rendering but you don't plan overclocking, the Xeon E3-1231 is a cheaper choice and performs identical.

    All in all though, seems fine.

    Thanks for that I have a 2tb external drive. I'll go 500 min with the PSU. Also is it still possible to pick up a windows 7 key on Reddit or should I just use ubuntu until windows 10?

    Just orderded!. It comes to just north of 1100. It's my first order on hwvs so i have to do it by bank transfer. I made the transfer after 4p.m. so it will be tomorrow before it shows up on my paypal acc. Hopefully it wont be too long before I can gaze down upon the console peasantry with contempt :)
