Graphics Card

I was going to get a GTX 970 4GB video card. Would I see much benefit from getting 2 of them and using them via SLI or is that unnecessary overkill?

I just wanted to update this post in case anyone later references the build I posted. I went with the GTX 970 rather than the GTX 980. It brought the cost down quite a bit without a huge hit in performance. I went with an 850 watt EVGA SuperNova power supply based on research and recommendations. I also went with a Samsung 850 EVO SSD rather than the Sandisk based on several reviews in various computer publications.

TGC currently doesn't support SLI or Crossfire.

I was going to go with that Samsung, but it is so popular that when I did my build it was out of stock.

My ABS rig from NewEgg came with this GTX 980:

It is a factory overclocked 980 and is SUPER quiet and runs very cool. I see them sold for around $500. It is a good alternative vs spending the $$$ on the 980Ti while still better than the std. 980.
