Hi Spectraldust,

The Velox is one of my favorite cases. You have a good build but you could make some changes.

1. Change the EVO 120 SSD to a Pro 128 for $26. Better yet would be to get the 256 Pro.

2. Change the Seagate 1Tb HDD to the 1TB Western Digital HDD - Black Edition for $18.

3. This case has a lot of fans and you might want to get the Digital Storm Thermal Management Control Board & Software. This will let you monitor temps throughout the case and adjust fans. You can also adjust fans with the MB Bios.

4. For gaming you don't need the sound card unless you have a sound system of some kind.

Another strong looking build here   

Hey Spectraldust! It looks like this build could potentially go above and beyond 1440. I just went through a fair amount of research wrt a very similar build that I did with DS and it "should" perform decently (not perfectly by any means) on 4K. The big differences between that one and your's are the video cards (I went with the EVGA 970s in SLI Overclocked). For the money, it appears to be the better choice. If you're going 1440p, I'd highly recommend the 970s, but can understand why you'd go with the 980s. Awesome build, though! It should definitely run whatever you throw at it in 1440p.
