Overpriced case, unnecessary RAM, unnecessary PSU, overpriced peripherals, cheap monitor, unnecessary dual GPUs, unnecessary CPU fan.

It's your money, but you can get a really good PC for less than $1000 and save quite a bit just upgrading a part every year or so. Unless you're trying to get into graphics-benchmark games, much of what you have is complete overkill. 'Futureproofing' is a historically pointless thing to do since the pricey components you're buying now will be made obsolete by a mid-range component in five years.

I've always found the following guide very helpful, and it's updated regularly:

Umm, no
Certain Nvidia GPUs (400 series and up) will work with DX12 (but won't support all features DX12 offers), but won't see gains like certain AMD cards will (the R9 series is one)

It's not like they'll just stop working or something

That's what fully compatible means

That's what fully compatible means
that isn't what obsolete means, though. nvidia gpus are still just as good an option as amd gpus.
dx12 isn't suddenly going to be the only api in existence.

They're obsolete in the sense as the 980s will no longer be the best GPUs offered by Nvidia because they aren't fully compatible with Dx12.

except the 980 will still be one of nvidia's top cards, alongside the titan x, until they release their new fully compatible with dx12 line, which won't be far away.

again, dx12 won't suddenly be the only api. dx11 will still be what a lot of games are using for a while

>.> I'm inclined to agree. And honestly, from everything I've heard, dual-GPU setups just cause more trouble than they're worth.
