This will just destroy every game out there. Plus, these GPUs will be available with G sync Compatibility.

do not get 3 way sli for the cost it barely increases the performance for that price you should probably be thinking about custom water-cooling. you guys above are wasting his money, you don't need any 2011 socket stuff for gaming in fact you barley need an i7, you would want to be using an 1150 socket with a i7 4770K and its gaming guys you don't need 16 GB RAM. I will make a more appropriate PC for you mate, you don't need to spend money on pointless things. and as a note for above, a 900D with just a closed loop....waste..?

GPU: 2 Gtx 780 Ti
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2133 Memory

I want to set up a raid config please help me out with that and I cannot figure out which cpu should i go with i plan to add more grahic cards along the way.
And are 2 780 Ti enough to play on three monitors max settings?

Ignore that, it's a troll build.

And yes 2x780Ti would be fine for 3 monitors.

You could easily make a build that would last you 3-4 years for way less than $3-4K

Thanks alot I think I will be going with your build except for the case I like the cooler master storm trooper and picking up 2 more 3 TB hdd for raid 10 config.
A few question though would 16 Gb memory be enough for this setup? and isn't i7-4930k better than i7-3930k?

Also need to make custom water cooling loop but you can't do that on PC Part picker however you have a spare $300 or so which can get you a nice loop

Yes 16GB would be fine, 16GB is actually overkill if you plan on mostly using it for gaming,

Since your budget is so high, why not a 4930k, u may use all 6 cores in the future. Storage I'm not sure howmuch you need but I picked 2 of each of moderate sizes.

I picked 2 Galaxy's 780's HOF because I heard great things about them, and ngl they look sick with the white case. They aren't as powerful as 2 780 ti for sure, but they can overclock quite a bit anyways.

For the periphals its just preference, I use logitech stuff so thats the first thing I thought of.

These builds look sweet, but like another poster said, I think a 4770k is good enough for a long while. So here's my build with a 4770k in mind with a red theme.

you can add another ssd for raid 0 if you want, but this falls almost near the $3k mark which I think is pretty sweet.

Figured I'd throw my 2 cents in there... But this build is total overkill. Well, total overkill is going IB-E... but to each his own.

Not a glaring error, but its a significant one. wtalk2's and dottorrent's LGA 2011 builds are recommending a dual channel RAM kit when they should be recommending a quad channel kit. If you're going that far, you might as well do it right. This setup should game 5760x1080 at max settings at 60fps except for crysis 3.
