Lose the tin can speakers and all those extra fans. Tons of money being wasted here. Don't get an H100i either. If you're going to do liquid cooling either go with a Swiftech H220, or a full custom loop, or not at all. Dual 780s use the same processor as the Titans but cost far less and get the exact same performance. What's your budget and the use for this system?

x2 ASUS TITAN SLI is the GPU

Looking at gaming on 1200p and probably looking to add another monitor for 3D gaming at 1080p or dual monitors. Would like to run pretty much any game thrown at it for the next 3-5 years aswell.

- Dropped the i7 and 16GB of RAM
- Dropped all the fans and tin can speakers
- You don't need a 500GB SSD, 250GB is even overkill
- Dual 780s give you the exact same performance as dual Titans since they use the same GK110 processor for less money
