went with a single 980ti? thats actually probably better since you stuck with a 6600k. its a solid processor but i think it might bottleneck sli 980ti at anything under 4k. cpu intensive games can max out its usage regularly. its fine for my single 390 build, but id still like to upgrade to a 6700k some time down the line when micro center has a awesome sale on it like they used to do with the 4790k. if its anything like the 4790k theyll eventually have sales with the 6700k going for 280 or so, then i might try to sell the 6600k for around 200 bucks and upgrade for cheap.

though if youve got sli 980tis you should be gaming at 4k anyway which is far more gpu intensive and the 6600k might be fine then, idk. but if youre spending 1200 dollars on gpus, 600+ dollars on a monitor, etc. whats 100 bucks more for the 6700k?

I don't think you will bottleneck any current gpu with that cpu. Even like a 2770k wouldn't bottleneck.

single gpu, no, probably not. but i think an i5 might bottleneck sli 980ts. maybe not since you should be gaming at 4k anyway in that case, but then, if youre going 980tis in sli theres really no reason not to spend a little more and get an i7.
