Hey guys Ive been thinking lots about upgrading my system. Im debating on investing in x99 but im wondering for what I use my system for (F@H and super light gaming.... CS 1.6... lol!) is it worth it to get invest in ddr4 and all that?
ive been poking around and ultimately I can afford to run two or three 980's the thing is if i stick to x87 i can reuse my ram which is a small bonus.
I do like the idea of future proofing the rig tho!
heres the bundle im looking at on tigerdirect:

or just grab this?

my LAST question is would i even be able to run four 980s off the x99 board posted above? i know performance scaling in SLI is downright terrible with even a third card does that apply for F@H? (CS 1.6 im not worried about hahahahah)
Happy newyears!
