Wouldn't be my PSU choice for SLI...

But more power to ya if that AX760 handles twin 970's.

And enjoy that ROG Swift monitor.

Congrats!

nividia card are so easy on the power. all in i use just over 500 watts. which aint to bad. with plenty to spare.

So yesterday my monitor came and im loving it. I cant beleive i use to be a console gamer. sold my xbox one on monday so im upgrading the i5 to a i7 6700k and selling the i5.

Looks great!

That monitor is just awesome, you'll really enjoy it.
It took my gaming experience to a whole new level, Who really needs or wants 4k? lol

the 165hz and g sync were big factors in it for me. 1440p is perfect for gaming. just need directx12 to hurry up and cards with more memory.

980TI = 6gig 😛
titan = 12gig 😛
and who knows what the new cards ( that may come out next year ) are going to have on them.

[lairdyboy]

exactly. especially with the rumours going round about memory stacking.
