Are you also looking for bragging rights (overkill)? Or also trying to just get the best value components (same performance but cheaper)?
No I don't care about showing off it's for tax purposes as I don't really need anything else to be honest. Honestly there is no need for a smart ass comment I'm just asking for some advice. I want the best value components I can afford with this budget so if you don't like it please don't reply.

Um.....that was a simple straight up serious question? I did not intend to offend anyone.
The build looks great to me, not much to add onto that build.

If you switch the GPU to 3 x GTX 780 Ti then you can be looking at gaming for 7+ years without changing anything.

Titan is better for developers as it's not optimized for gaming in drivers' prospective and such.

Make sure it says GTX 780 Ti, with Ti at the end. GTX 780 is a little bit downgrade compare to GTX 780 Ti.

but if you get a titan 4 way sli it sounds like a upgrade so lets waste our money on pointless stuff
I have a car mate and I'm happy with it, I need a computer so might as well spend 15k on one to last many years to come, also I am thinking of going with 4 titan gtx black, with all water cooled, is this a better option or still the 780ti, also I am a developer, I will be developing programs, so basically it's a good card for that. What would you recommend?

It depends on what you develop and program, but I guess go with Titan Black since you don't care about the pricing at this point.

I'd wait until end of this month as the gtx 790 duel gpu is set to release and it's going to be better then the Titan black. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if they released info on it THIS week or mid week next week absolute latest.
A 15k computer might last you 6 years of useable gaming experience. Three 3k computer will in total last you probably 9-12. Years. So if your concerned about making your money go far but three smaller computers over the years, and go on a vacation with the extra 6k.
A 15k computer will work just as well in games as a 5k computer, because both of them are so far beyond the optimal price to preformance area, that they will both get about the same performance.
3 still incredible but less expensive computers over the years will last longer than 1 mega computer
