Upgrading from peasant laptop
No SSD for price, going GTX 980 because it's the most powerful single card. The R9 295x2 can't be SLI'd later on to the extent of my knowledge. Seriously looking at getting a better monitor.
I've heard the R9 300 series is coming out soon so would it be better to wait for that?

it's $1500 I don't even know why you're bothering calling it a console crusher
I'd only use that term if it's equal to or below the price of current gens consoles and runs better. |

*Crossfire
And they can but only with 2 cards, since the card is a dual gpu.
Also about the SSD, I found a 120GB one for cheap here neweggOcom/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233611 If you see me with a chickadee no diggity, it'll be: giggity giggity giggity. |

It certainly crushes consoles so that's why I labeled it as such. And yeah, that SSD is cheap. I might ditch the mechanical keyboard for it, I'm not sure.

why get a 980 when a 290x is almost 1/2 the price
if heat is a concern i get that but once you OC and overvolt the 980 it uses 220w+ anyway, so keep that in mind |

I want the best single graphics card I can get performance wise. The 980 is as far as nvidia can take their current series, previous cards have had parts of the chip disabled and such.
It's better than the 290x in every way except price which I've already condensed to where I can afford the card. An i7 isn't worth it, I don't really desire an SSD and if you removed the keyboard, headset and monitor the build would be around $1250.

| an ssd is a far greater upgrade than the marginal 290x against 980 |
