im having trouble understanding your point. even a single 970 will 'run any game on the market at ultra settings on 1920x1080.'
you paired a 144hz monitor with a single gtx 980, and a gtx 980 only gets less than 100 fps at 1080p

My point is the 980 is in budget. Yes, two 970s will perform better. I'm having trouble understand what you're trying to argue. I've already agreed with you more than once. Why are we even arguing about this? lol


Here with 2 970's:

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/KhH33C

Core i5 4690k ($246.98 | Direct Canada)
MSI Z97-Gaming 5 ($169.99 | Canada Computers)
Seagate Barracuda ($57.99 | Canada Computers)
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB ($148.98 | Direct Canada)
2x MSI GTX 970 ($404.99 | NeweggCA)
NZXT H440 ($124.99 | Canada Computers)
ASUS VG248QE ($279.99 | Direct Canada)
ASUS VS239H-P ($184.95 | Vuugo)

With price matching, $2214.80 before tax, etc.

2214.80
220.93 (Sales Tax)
52.50 (Installation + Service Tax)
-30 Mail-In Rebate
= $2458.23

Still need a keyboard and mouse.

/ee
If you're going to eventually do surround mode on the monitors, you're going to want them all the same size for aesthetics.

i didnt know we were arguing. just stating what i didnt understand and that the 144hz might not be needed.

Okay then
The 144hz is another preference choice. Some people like them for FPS games, some people don't care.

Alright a few questions, I looked at reviews and apparently the h440 has very bad air fliw and I'm wondering if that will be a major issue. Also I can't seem to find any good red led fans...

In an air cooled system, bad air flow is bad. Not sure how that's even a question.

Get a Corsair Air 540.

They're really expensive in Canada though :\

How many of those fans would I need?

If you bought the case I linked as well, only 2. There are mounting holes for 5 140mm fans, but you won't need that many.

What if I absolutely want the h440 what fans would I have to use?

Crucial MX100 instead of Samsung SSD and a cheaper motherboard will save you almost enough to fit 2x970s into the budget without a performance loss.
