At the 2,500 euro price point, you're still going to have the footprint of just 1 server/desktop so you may not need to worry about the CrackLord GUI yet until you start networking your other builds into it.
If you can get 980's for 15% less than 980Ti's, then you should do it. Reason being: overclocking!
A very conservative overclock can EASILY yield you a 10% increase in performance on a 980. So what you will then realize is actually 7% performance over a 980Ti (10% - 3% = 7%)
You could also save $$ by buying cheaper brand ram, omitting the ATX case, buying the GPUs on Ebay, etc.
If you do go the saving extra $$ route, you could then buy 980Ti's instead and overclock those.
CPU should be an Intel i7 and go with 32 gb ram if you can, but 16 will be ok.
