No requirement for an i7 unless you plan to stream or edit videos.
That's because I chose the I7 to handle a lot of 3D graphics tasks.
No problem. The current setup won't work until you pick a power supply. That 980 is a waste of money—it's just an expensive paperweight. Save some cash and boost your performance. Consider the Crossfire 290/290x; it could match or exceed its price with better speed. Confirm which graphics card configuration you want first, then choose a power supply.
Sure, the Titan X feels a bit overkill for my needs. With 1440p setups already planned, I’m already budgeting for two monitors, so spending on it would be unnecessary. Plus, its features don’t justify the cost compared to what I’m seeking.
I understand your perspective. I've been considering the 290x and realized that if I'm heading toward AMD's path, it might make more sense to hold off on the 300 series until then.
