Awesome, thanks Dave gpu. I imagine that's where I'll be spending a lot of my time. I am not sure what I'll be crunching just yet. The 980 will be in my new build paired with a 5820k, so I probably won't use it for crunching. I will be using that pc for heavy multiple VMWare labs, 2k gaming and 3D rendering/design. What I will be using is a SLI'd pair of 8800 GTX's from an old alienware system and the current R9 270 I'll be overclocking when I get home to get the most out of it since it's pretty old.

See I want to get a GTX 970 and SLI it in the future, but not sure if it is worth it now because when overclocked to *almost* match the 980 performance, it would require more power than just a 980 alone. Plus 970 SLI'd will cost about $100 more than the 980. That's why I opted to just get the 980 and SLI in the near future maybe 6 months or so. What do you think?
