Waste of money buying the Titan Blacks now.  You're going to be taking a $3k hit in 3 months.
 
EDIT: Meant $2k.




It's not waste of money. 
Titan Black will be at least 2-3 years excellent graphics
If he don't have time to wait Big Maxwell with enough GPU power he will play much better on 1440p and higher resolution with Titan Black.
Maybe is for one card GTX980 overclocked better option. But if you buy 2-3-4 Titan Black SC with 6GB memory still no successor and competitors. I mean for one or two GTX980 size of 4GB is enough compare to GPU power.
But with more cards he will be able to play on 4K and video usage will be constantly on 4-5GB.
Off course Titan Black with OC become much power full card than out of box, SC is good choice.
He can easy to miss and Big Maxwell and wait Pascal, Volta or what NVIDIA plan to launch next and to upgrade when 20nm become reality.
And than he will mill all games on high resolution with Titan Blacks and memory will not be limit. 
And he want Titan Black Signature Hydro Copper, that card is OC more than 100MHz, almost same clock as GTX780Ti Classified, that mean beast.
1500 points more than reference Titan Black. I would done same for 3-4 cards, for 1-2 GTX980 K|NGP|N Classified will be best.

Just checked the space between connectors...  If the OD of your G1/4 barb is 0.80, they will touch, so 0.79 and smaller is better.  
NOW stick......stick a.... a fork....stick.. a... in......Z..ZzzzZz....Zzz.....  *thunk*
