I want to know witch one you think is worth buying please let me know and let the wars between these cards begin!
Lol no wars. What do you intend to do with the card you buy and do you intend to air, water, or LN2 cool? Once you answer these questions, you'll find a consensus.

Still didn't answer my questions, but the obvious answer is the KPE is the best of all of them. That is, if money is no issue.

Actually, I recommend the Classified. They won't make full cover blocks for the KPE.

The Kingpin is considered to be a binned card, so it's guaranteed to on level to be better. Also the Kingpin would be ideal for water as its supposably better at OC'ing. But both of those cards would do 60fps+ at 1080p. So I wouldn't buy the Kingpin unless you're into OC'ing.
Keep in mind that water cooling does not void your warranty with EVGA as long as the product is returned with the original cooler and w/o physical damage. Don't remove the warranty sticker either.
EDIT: Make sure you can water cool the card before you buy it too.

I think there was some confusion about how you planned to cool the card. You mentioned water cooling, but I think that's what your CPU has and even if it was the GPU then it wouldn't fit still. So you will be using air cooling...
I would just say it's up to you and your wallet. Both are going to give you 80fps+ on 1080p. So it's really up to how much your willing to pay. Obviously the Kingpin is better, but it's overkill for your situation and it's not nescasarry to spend the extra money for it.

2 970's will run just as well if not better than a single 980 ti anything, only gain will be memory, not really fps

Ok, you're kind of all over the place. 970s will outdo a 980Ti, or match it. You won't be able to water cool a KPE because no one makes a full cover block, which means a Classy on water will out perform the Kingpin.

Why do you want more power? (Serious question, not trying to be smart) the dual 970s should max anything you have at 1080p well above 60fps?
