If anyone here is a tech expert; should I get a Single 8GB NVIDIA GTX 980M [$496 Increase from a Single 4GB NIVIDIA GTX 860M] or Dual 8GB NVIDIA GTX 980M [$720 Increase from the single]. I have researched the effects of dual GPUs in this article and to me, it seems that it will cause more trouble than the single [assembling it would be no trouble, just the other problems mentioned in the post]. Your thoughts?

Dual video cards just isn't necessary unless your monitor setup is ridiculous. Other problems you'll run into with 2 cards include high power consumption, more heat inside your case, and added space limitations in your case for other hardware. Just buying a single high-end video card is what I recommend.

I also recommend what Wawa say, I don't recommend multiple Video cards unless you're doing multiple monitor gaming setup.

 

Even if 2x Gtx 970 sli is cheaper than a single GTX 980. I'd still recommend 980.
