    Can't give you "ideas" until you tell us what you consider "too much" or even what you want exactly.

    What's your price range, and are you looking to do pre-built, are you planning to build your own, or are you looking for a gaming laptop?

    It's actually very simple to build your own pc. I had prior experience with building computers when I built mine last year. You should definitely look into building your own pc if you want the most out of your money.

    I don't know if you're in Deutschland, but it has the prices in euros... This PC is extreme overkill. Buy all the parts and send it to a computer store, they'll charge you 40$ to put it together.

    Sure, but it would probably be better to just post here looking for further ideas and insight.

    I just noticed on the link I posted above half of the things can't be bought out there so you should find someone trusted here to buy the stuff for you and ship it all to you.

    In my opinion would be better to get a 250gb ssd, Evga gtx 980ti video card, and Evga g2 750w power supply, that would end on €1300

    970 sli is much cheaper than a single 980ti and faster.

    I switched from 970 sli to 980ti because I couldnt stand sli problems in games anymore.

    Maybe you didn't have it configured properly, my previous setup had a 660 TI in sli and it was ballin. Make sue all your drivers are up to date, your PSU is strong enough to handle twice the power, and the game supports SLI. The 970 is a strong card by itself and will have no issues playing most games in max. Although the MOST INTENSE games like BF Hardline, The Witcher 3 and others might struggle slightly with maxed 1080p settings (both of these games support SLI).

    Also I'm not arguing that the 980 ti isn't a good card, it's phenomenal. It would just be my preference to get a 970 sli setup over the 980 ti. Really it boils down to the OP, do you want 970 sli with [possibly] a few problems, better performance and less cost. Or do you want the 980 ti with lower performance, not many issues and higher cost.
