Best GTX 980 for mild Overclocking/Performance.

[Nightcreeper]

I am looking at getting a pair of 980s for SLI in my system, maybe a 3rd card for dedicated Physx.

1) Which 980 card should I get. (Budget is $1500 total) Looking at:
a) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-079-_-Product
b) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-834-_-Product
c) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-682-_-Product

2) If I was to go with a dedicated card for Physx, which would you recommend. I know it would probably be an older/cheaper one.

3) Also; if I am somewhat under-budget enough, I was debating adding a Samsung 850 Pro 512GB SSD to the order. Got a few Newegg coupon codes that would keep it close to the $1500.

Thanks in ADVANCE.

Just received my 980 SC ACX from evga couple hours ago hitting 1580Mhz core 8000Mhz RAM max temp of 70c
Just ordered a 2nd one from them hope its as good.

I would get them from EVGA they will both prob be from the same batch so good chance they will be on par with one another.
