    Getting a gaming PC had a few questions





    FIrstly this is what I will have



    -Intel® Core™ i7-5820K Processor (6-cores, 15MB Cache, Overclocked up to 3.8 GHz w/ Turbo Boost)



    -8GB Dual Channel DDR4 at 2133MHz



    -2 TB 7200 HDD





    On the fence on Windows 7 or 8. More comfortably with 7 but 8 is cheaper....







    Here is what I want



    NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 970 with 4GB GDDR5





    If I get the NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 980 with 4GB GDDR5 it is $250 extra





    If I get the Dual NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 970 graphics with 8GB total (2x 4GB) GDDR5 - NVIDIA SLI iEnabled it is $350 extra







    Thoughts?
