My graduate adviser and I are looking into building our own workstation for our research. Specifically we need a CUDA accelerated system for an imaging software we use that is similar to MRI. He has previous experience with the software and a system at a military research center we collaborate with. The specs for their system, which was built in 2012, are as follows:
EVGA Classified SR-X 270-SE Dual LGA 2011
2x Xeon E5-2690 Sandy Bridge-EP 2.9GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) 8-core
2x Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
PNY Quadro 5000 2.5 GB
NVIDIA Tesla C2075 6GB
3x Corsair Dominator 32GB (4x8GB) 1600 MHz DDR3 SDRAM (96GB total)
Intel 520 Series Cheeryville 480GB Sata III
EVGA SuperNOVA 1500W PSU
generic ODD/HDD
We were told the system cost around $11k.
My adviser has tasked me with building a similar rig using the most recent parts available. I have a good bit of experience building gaming desktops, but none when it comes to workstation computers. I wanted to a few rec's from some more experienced builders before I jumped headfirst into this.
I would like to spec 3 systems for us to consider:
1) Similar performance as the 2012 build for less money
2) More performance for equal money (~$11,000)
3) Most performance for around $12,000-$15,000 (go crazy!)
Any help would be much appreciated!

and that it doesn't have support for dual CPUs obviously. As for the Titan Blacks, I chose them because they are designed for CUDA developers.. Such as yourself. I strongly suggest that you wait until Xeon V3s and dual socket x99 boards to be released.
