    It should be fine for anything other than 4k gaming. Not saying it won't work, just that it won't be ideal.

    SLI has scaling issues in some games, and in rare cases, is not even supported in games (e.g. 960 SLI does not outperform a single 980 enough to justify it.) At 4k in Crysis 3, you can expect GTX 960 SLI to get an average of 10 FPS on the highest settings. The GTX 980 gets a 20 FPS average in the same game at the same settings. As you can see, 4k is extremely demanding.

    However, with what you plan to use it for, it should be fine. Just don't expect to max out every game on 4k. That's an unrealistic expectation. You'll have to play on Low-Medium settings for a playable frame rate.

He gave me a budget and asked my opinion on what's best, and that's exactly what I delivered. He didn't say, "I want to have a cheap build." Otherwise, I would have given him a cheap build. Yes, I would have probably been able to do better if I had known the exact currency conversion rates, but I "ball parked" it in anticipation for inflation.

    What you're suggesting is inferior in almost every aspect. The major issue with your suggestion is a weak CPU in combination with a flagship GPU - absolutely ridiculous combination for a desktop build that you want to last through upgrades down the road. The system specs I gave will last years longer, ultimately saving him money from having to upgrade to compensate for the lost performance about a year from now, offering a better foundation for upgradeability down the road. Also, purchasing a GTX 980 right now is not a wise decision (unless you get an excellent deal), especially since he doesn't need it. The 980Ti will be coming out soon, and next year Pascal will hit the market offering substantial improvements across the board. Spending $300~ on the 970 (which is more than enough to satisfy his needs & wants) is likely his best option. Everything I suggested has reasoning behind it, and actually saves him money (and time) long-term while satisfying all short-term needs and wants.

    It's one thing to help, but you came here looking for a fight with your attitude. Your failed attempts at proving me wrong isn't helping anyone. This thread is a resource thread. You are proving yourself to be unresourceful. Stop trying to prove people wrong when you have no idea what you're talking about. You're only making yourself look like a fool.

    If he wants to go cheap, and would like to disregard any future plans or possibilities with his build, he's free to follow your advice. But that's not what he asked for. My suggestions give him a good place to start for performance, price, and longevity.
    A cheap build? My build is superior to yours. The i5-4690k isn't weak.

    You're asking him to buy a 380$ CPU and a 440$ GPU you want him to upgrade in a year. I have no idea what I'm talking about, I came here to fight? You're giving people bad advice. He wont disregard his future plans. I'm giving advice and letting him know, one of his options is a 980 and a 4K screen.

    How do you know a 970 will satisfy his needs and he doesnt need a 980?

    I just woke up so I'll make this short, lets say he doesnt want a 4k screen, there's 450$ left in the bank, go nuts. Still a better build than yours. You're putting way too much weight on the CPU, start focusing on the GPU. A 970 with a i7-4790k is pointless.


    If you don't mind me asking, what's your specs?

    There are new ASUS monitors coming out soon that are 1440p, 120Hz, etc. but start at like $599. Kind of pricey.

    Superior? Are you trying to look like an idiot, or does it just come naturally? You do not know anything about hardware. Just stop. Read my post more carefully, and stop making stuff up.

    P.S. I won't respond to anymore of your idiocy. Just isn't worth the trouble on a cell phone. When you decide to grow up, do some research into the aforementioned companies and their products, and then maybe we can have a mature conversation.
