The build was set up to only run one GTX 970, But by some luck I was able to get another one at a hell of a discount. Now I got two GTX 970's but kept the same original build from the jump.

Not bad. I would have preferred and SSD & Mechanical keyboard instead of 2 970's but either way very solid.

Nice build. It's essentially the same as mine and I love my PC.
You're gaming at 1080p and since you got the second GTX 970 for a "hell of a discount", sell it for profit and get something else, a SSD perhaps; or you could've just gotten a single GTX 980, because if you plan on upgrading to a higher resolution monitor some time in the future, the 3.5GB VRAM on the GTX 970 will affect your gaming performance.

Not a bad build, I would have picked a different mouse but meh, whatever floats your boat.

Mostly will be using my Xbox one controller or PS4 controller instead of the mouse, Mose will be used for games like world of warcraft, etc.

Maybe sometime in the future I will upgrade but like I said my budget was $900 im surpised I got everything I did and still stayed under $1,000 but I will most likely upgrade in the future when ever my cash gets right where I want it/Spending money.
I just want to have ultra settings on every game I play, and hopfully with two GPUS/970's I can. But You got pictures of your build tho Id love to see it :O

fyi - you can run every game on ultra with a single GTX 970 if you're gaming at 1080p.

Two 970 overkill for 1080..
Overpriced PSU
No SSD
Crap watercooler
Gaming 5 > gaming 3

Gaming 5 > Gaming 3? Explain, Id like to know I want the best for my Gaming build 👍
Off topic: Lets say I did get a GTX 980, Would I need to upgrade it in the future for better gaming or will it stay current for a while?.

Just found out they including the copy of the Witcher 3 wild hunt, With getting a GTX 980 would I have to upgrade anything else? Memory, CPU, etc
