Tossed a pc together on CyberPower! Ignore the price of the total please that's not the main cocern here! I just want friendly facts and advice based on what I have chosen so far so please just be respectful!
Here is my config# 1EYJ8C or go to http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1EYJ8C
Just don't feel like typing all this out!

Here is where I am going with this set up heavy modding of games such as Skyrim, Crysis 3 and perhaps BF3(BF3 maybe only visual I am not the cheating sort on FPS games takes the fun away from everyone) other titles being Skyrim online, Tera Rising possiby and Far Cry and much more.
Like said big time modding though not just adding but in time possible even creating my own mods as well! Getting big into the programming world slowly but surely but I still have a great deal to learn.

Anyhow I chose 2 GTX 680 2GB VRAM and it has to have HDMI to HDMI so that's why I didn't go with the GTX 690 since it's DVI to HDMI. I got a 40" Samsung 1080p(1920x1080 res) 3D capable (I will never 3D game but may consider watching a movie in 3D on it otherwise no gaming in 3D) so basically 3D is not really being considered into my gaming experience just thought that info was relevant for you guys to pull the facts.

Considering my set up and how heavily high def I would like to run the game but only on the one screen (I am not a fan of multiple screens) is my GTX 680 2GB good enough even with massive HD and gameplay driven mods on top of wanting to run it on Ultra High settings and what not?! Example Skyrim with ENB and many more texture and landscape changing mods such as Tropical Skyrim, Deadly Dragons, Magicka Sabers, Midas Magic etc. You get the idea things like that! Along with modding more demanding games as well in time such as BF3 or Crysis 3?

Please any help in deciding between 2GB or 4GB VRAM for my purpose to this pc would be great remember than I plan to create mods over time as well so please consider this?!
 

If you go crazy with texture mods, graphics memory usage increases dramatically.

Sakkura just to be safe I think I may consider what you say simply due to the Deadly Dragons mod I will be using which means those HD dragons needs to not only load but move around succesfully on top of the moving HD graphics like lighting and shadows at HD I just want to be safe and not spoil the fun mid game LOL over something silly like VRAM!
@envy14tpe I would consider the Titan only if I planned to do a lot with really big programming while multitasking them such as running things like photoshop 5.5 and CAD 3D modeling simultanously while still demanding high res at multi screens. So I think that's where Titan comes in according to the creators of the Titan when it was reviewed but Titan for gaming perhaps only if your flashy and rich I make good money but am definitely not rich LOL so I will stick to perhaps GTX 670 at 4GB just to save the hurt on my wallet of GTX 680 at 4GB!

Since what I hear the 670's have like near equal performance to the 680's! Let me know what you guys think about this decision though?

Not that just not that flashy having Titans for gaming is not the best choice according to the makers of the V-Card to be honest at one point I was guna get the GTX 690 (almost just as pricey but more geared toward the gamer) what turned me off was the DVI but right now I am considering on simply just getting it to perform very well I guess maybe I can just go with the GTX 680 4GB VRAM and sntach 2 of those then. But that pushes back how much sooner I can get it by about a month :( LOL oh well let me know 680's or 670's hmmm...

Also, drop the second video card. If you are only running at 1080p on a single monitor you will not see much benefit from it, and in some cases will actually cause games to run worse.

Drop down to a i7-3930k. The performance is nearly identical, especially once overclocked, but it is almost half the price.

You could save some money on the motherboard if you wanted to.

The power supply is overkill, especially if you drop the second card.

Blu-ray drives are generally considered a waste of money as they usually don't come with the software to actually play/burn Blu-ray movies, and that software can cost upwards of $100. YMMV.

I know you said not to worry about price, but you are spending around $1200 extra for basically no performance gain. If money really is no object, then rock on. Otherwise, consider dropping down on some of those options.

Well I still want a bang for my buck that being the case I could actually put up for a 690 but its DVI :( so your saying a single GTX 680 @ 4GB VRAM the i7-3930K that Sakkura mentioned. My only reason in the power supply is in hope that a GTX 690 gets released with an HDMI port because I would love to get my hands on a dual GPU V-card but only with an HDMI port or idk should I get the 690 anyway?

The money thing only matters on a time basis I can only save exactly 1K monthly and that's probably not until like June that I will have the flexibility to do so. So every 1K is a month wait time :( and I have little patience LOL! :)

Feeling weak you guys helped out big with the CPU choice that I am tempted to just simply getting the GTX 690 and saying the heck with it even if it is DVI LMAO! Even with that V-card its not below 4000 and I can get the pc in the time frame I want with the necessary to do what I want you guys are great thanks! :D OOHRAH!!!

I have a friend to help me build it so when you see cyberpower just think of it as a list for what I need guys not as where I am getting it physically if need be I will but right now I have other resources I know the the prices are marked up for profit!
 

You could get a 4 GB GTX 670 (or 680) to begin with. Then if that turns out to be inadequate, you can add a second one in SLI later on. That way you won't have to save up quite as much money for the first purchase.

Yea you're right I could but you guys helped me cut so much off the cost I can get the GTX 690 stop being a baby about DVI and suck it up and get the cord for it and just be happy with a GTX 690 from the get go. I think you guys have given all I need to know I appreciate everything thanks so much!
