Thanks for the feedback. I had a Firecuda in to start with. I changed the spec after ordering.The only thing I'd say with your build is that the second 980 is unnecessary: you could go for the 2TB Firecuda and save quite a lot of money. If you don't do that, be aware that Windows will get installed on the 2TB drive because it is marginally faster.
And yeah, you'll have ample cooling. I doubt an exhaust fan would actually do all that much if anything for your temperatures.
One of the reasons is that the 980 is a more power efficient than the 520 Firecuda. Lets power/less heat/less ware (hopefully). I'm hopeing this PC will last me 5 years or more hopefully.
This review actually has the Firecuda out performing the980 in a one write test, but I did change my mind on this, several times.... I was already £300 over my budget, credit card is burning but hopefully I won't regret it.
