I'm ready to order my new build just waiting on the 980ti classified to come back in stock. Wondering if its relatively soon or should i just go with the 980ti SC+ and call it a day.

The 980ti reference boards overclocks
the same, on average, and may make it easier to get one. The classifieds are great cards when benchmarking with at least water, but with Maxwell, it doesn't give anything extra over the reference board without appropriate cooling methods.
Personally, if you are looking to build, I would suggest the SC. It is obviously 100% up to you.

Hmm that makes sense, ill probably just get the SC+ since its cheaper anyway. I doubt ill be pushing these cards that hard anyway.

Here is a great article. Honestly, the first 3 lines and the overclocking tab are the only things that are important. http://www.hardwareasylum...classified/page13.aspx"Overclocking puts a unique strain on video cards and while reference design cards overclock rather well there is a limit to what the stock VRM can supply in terms of clean usable power. These power demands go unnoticed under air and water cooling but overclocking under LN2 with voltage modifications and the weaknesses become evident." That right there is something that 99% of reviewers will NEVER tell the user. This card they tested boosted to 1485.. That is average at best on the 980ti currently. If you spend less, you can get a sweet new game! :-D
