If it does not work can anyone tell me what will?

[Additional notes]: sorry if its kind of obvious and i'm just an idiot, i'm new at this whole building a pc thing...

EDIT: hello, just looking arround newegg and wanted to know if this "mars" gpu at

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121839

is as good or even better then the titan is it claims here

NVM: this is a question for a different topic

I see no issues with the combination EXCEPT, no SLI support on the motherboard, you would not be able to add a second 780 (and that's not really an obvious thing).

heres where the total pc part noob flourishes inside of me, whats SLI? also in the future i plan to upgrade and have more than one gpu do you know of any that i can do this with and be compatible?

crazygamer2255 :

according to 3D Mark 11 benchmark and Pass Mark ,GTX 780 Ti is 10% faster than Titan

crazygamer2255 :

The use of more than one NVidia graphics card together to make a more powerful graphics solution (what you do want to do) is known as SLI (Scalable Link Interface). The motherboard needs to provide support for that and in this case, the MSI B85-G41 does not.
Note: The use of two or more AMD video cards together is known as CrossFire-X (aka "X-Fire"), the MSI board does support that, you could look into an AMD R9-290 here and be prepared to add another later

I could find no B85 chipset boards that show as being SLI certified, you're pretty much limited to a few Z87 boards that offer it (at least according to NVidia)
