As I mentioned, my power supply has both PCI-E power connectors on the same cable, kinda like how a lowercase "h" is shaped. Running a card like that, with a power supply like that would have been stupid. Also, I cant see the sense in overclocking, it overly stresses your components for an extra 5% boost in performance. The cost-benefit doesn't add up for 2 more frames per second.
Back on topic, a $3500 PC would be really silly at a time like now. With Intel, Nvidia and AMD making shifts to new architecture and fab processes. Right now its best to waits and see how Zen, HBM and Skylake pans out.
Right now, if you are going to spend $3500 on PC parts that will be old-gen in less than 3 months, you might as well buy something from Apple Inc.

They not in the high end for CPUs. Intels higher core count chips aren't awesome deals, they are the result of lack of competition since AMD went to APUs. But if cash is there then yeah only choice.
The high end GPUs use similar power. Tomshardware even has Fury X using less than 980Ti. If you plan to go multiGPU Fury X is also the way to go since it scales better and won't throttle due to water. Single 980ti ok for now or Fury (non-X)
Make sure you planning 1440p minimum monitor

The only thing you usually have to change out in a new PC is the GPU more than anything else.
An example is the build I have in my signature with the i5 and 8 gigs of ram and intel SSD that I have had since 2012 and have changed my video card two times so far and waiting on the GTX 970 to arrive, as anything above that is for 4k gaming and I don't plan to do any 4k gaming anytime soon.
Course I did the upgrade when technology started going at a go slow, so there are periods when the upgrade is best and if I were looking to upgrade now I would definitely wait till Nvidia's Pascal release to do any other major update, which is actually next year.

dwl! i dont do non of that a just gaming and web surfing dwl! just tired of gaming on a crappy pc.crappy interms of that i cant get good fps at 720p or 1080p.http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kingpin/saved/#view=mbN7YJ

anyone of the above that fall in my budget a it me a go with.
lol u rate amd dont? me rate them too enu!
that is very good power consumtion for 2 r9 290,cpu and everything else in the machine.
the thing about it is nvidia was suppose to launch the 800 series but they opt for the 900 series saying it was more power efficient of which they are.
the cards usually oc themselves when conditions are right same thing with cpu's and apu's so ocing your hardware is kinda like a thing of the past and mobo's help with ocing too.
apple! r u serious!? as to wat i wrote previously i know about most of the new architectures but them i would still have to wait and see the reviews and testing before i purchase.(remember the i7 4770k?).so the z97 and x99 plateform is already tested and proven samething with gpu's amd r9 series and nvidia 900 series
alienware cut corners and use generic stuff so there's noway am buying any pre-built hardware from any company.
every review tech site uses different ways to test hardware and some of them are bias aswell,the 980ti is a downgraded titan x so yes i expected it to uses more power.heat wise with multi gpu also depends on your case and the placement of them on your mobo's pci-e lanes (spacing).i thought about aio water cooling and it's a no no cause their pumps have a high failure rate interms of mtbf rather a custom one with a d5 pump plus the different gpu manufacturers use high quality fans so their silent and have a very long life.
and nope not 1440p or g-sync a just str8 1080 144hz,and i have an idea of what ur gonna say but with a gpu like a 980 or a 980ti i can drive a 1080p monitor at those high refresh rates
nvidia playing catch up with amd.pascal is the same gpu and mem tech like the fury x only more refined and more bandwidth.
if am gonna do that i will always be waiting on new tech cause them gringo yah a that a them plan fi do every year tell u say new and better tech next year for u to shell out more green paper again u zeeme!.
i like this it's good to know that i can reason with my fellow jamaicans who are just as tech savy like any other country in the world! dis yah website yah get 5 stars from me str8! the ting waaaaaay up! and thanks for all your input guys nuff respect zeen.

You are missing the point. I am not telling you to wait. I am saying PC hardware is stagnant at the moment.
I myself love upgrading every 3 months.
People who bought i7 2600k got the best. Since then there has no been no real improvement in CPU performance.
But I am not telling you how to spend your money. Just saying it is a waste right now. You are gonna buy the top of the line stuff right now that isnt any faster than what was released 3 years ago.
And AMD invented the HBM tech so they have first priority over HBM and HBM2.
The cards dont OC themselves... They have boost clock and AMD works Different from NVidia.
AMD has a maximum clock that then decreases if temp threshold is hit or power limit.
Nvidia Has a base clock that is minimum and boost to max boost clock if temps allow.
It is called throttling and is stock settings. Myself and others have overclocked beyond that.
Parts list isnt bad. Thats way less than $3500.
