I would have...but I'm limited to buying off amazon (I'm Nigerian with a visiting sibling), and at the moment they don't have any stock (at a reasonable price) that will ship within a week.

Newegg/others don't allow billing addresses outside the country.

Get the 980ti if you can. It is never better and SLI'ing that down the line would be awesome.

After the disappointment of the Fury X benches (and its unavailability) I've decided to go a more pragmatic route and maximize my bang for my buck.

I'm really looking for opinions for what best to get at that price point, given a 1080 144hz gaming requirement and 600w psu.

290X crossfire is unavailable to me given that power limitation, and the R9 3series use more power.

Other than the 980Ti, can I expect to top 100FPS with any single GPU at 1080p? Or is a dual-gpu setup my only solution.

600w PSU. $600 budget. Looking to SLI used 970s. Am I missing something?
