I currently own a Quadro K6000 GPU which I am looking to sell, it's brand new so I am hoping to get 3400$ for it. With that I want to build a game development PC.

I am using Unreal Engine 4 so I need 2 screens, preferably 1440p each if it's a real boost. (24inch screens maybe?)


Could someone help me choose parts? Things like the GPU, I am not sure about. I am waiting since new gens are coming out right now and I am not in a hurry at all. However I can't decide with the GPU, I am thinking 2 GPUs since I will be running on 2 screens. So I was thinking 2*780 or 780ti.

I am not sure if it's worth getting the Ti version or not. I found the 780 EVGA for 500$ and the 780 Ti for 670$. So it's a big jump in price.


Also do I get a 1 TB SSD or a 512gb SSD?
I will be getting 3 - 5 tb of storage HDD anyway.

Suggestions on monitors?


Softwares I will be running:
Unreal Engine 4
ZBrush
Maya
3DS Max
World Machine
Visual Studio 2013
MARI / MODO
NukeX / Nuke
Adobe CC
NVidia Gameworks (most of them)
NVidia PhysX
Blender

and maybe some others. I want to be able to compile, work shaders, game etc quickly.
