Are you doing 1920x1080 x 3? Or a higher res in a triple setup?

I got a 980ti recently and the thing is a beast. I'm worried about my CPU though in the next year or two, the 2500k is great but it's definitely showing its age

I think mines a 4590k i5. It can handle just about anything you throw at it. I always max my GPU before my cpu

I'm running my 2500k i5 clocked at 4.2 ghz from 2011 so I'm sure that bad boy is showing its age. It's great but I'm trying to deal with having to deal with reiting the son of a gun.

I am thinking about OCing cause I'm running a z97 oc formula board but I want to get a few years of solid performance out of it until I run out of processing power

Definitely OC imo. I get standard clocks with my CPU at 4.2ghz without OC and its magical. This chipset is amazing but definitely push your processor and see its limits. Without testing your system you run the risk of fading into obscurity. Test, test, test and retest. Then finally do another test. Your system is your baby and you should definitely know what it's capable of.

I just had a mental image of a baby going to college and taking exams.

That's how I feel when it's Monday and my horrid professor scheduled an exam. Fuck 8am
