The power consumption "problem" is the same for the 980ti though:

Power Consumption:
970 - 164 Watt
980 - 171 Watt
980Ti - 250 Watt

TW3 ran fine for me on my GTX 770 with hairworks on for Geralt. I played with it on "High" settings @1920x1200

My hairworks was Geralt only most of the time too. The only time it wasn't was when I knew a scene with one of the ladies was getting ready to fire. Then I'd turn it on for everyone.

I'm just having a bit of fun. I am surprised though how well the game runs on older hardware.

So instead of replacing your 980ti when it becomes too slow, you can just add a second one.
Well, 2 x 980Ti might be tempting but that would be too much goodness .

Besides, like JDR13 said, you would need a bigger PSU and I was targeting 700W, which I think is already more than necessary.

… I'd probably go with 16Gb 3000Mhz (or 3200) ….

From what I am reading, the differences in RAM speed hardly affects gaming so I wonder whether I will notice it if I get anything above 2133 MHz.

But you are going to buy a 980ti!
Do you really want to save like 20$ on Ram?

And we talked about futureproof. So you might consider buying a 980ti now and a proper board, PSU, and then, in 3 years when you think your pc is too slow you can add another 980ti (if they are still available then)
