Dear users
i am making a build for gpu rendering and i will use a single Gtx Titan Black Card in this build . This is the build i have assembled on PC-PART-PICKER .
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/arc1angel2/saved/nrFbt6

Video Card -GTX Titan Black 6GB

CPU -Intel Core i7-4790 3.6GHz Quad-Core

Motherboard -Asus Z97-A ATX LGA1150

Memory - Corsair Dominator 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1866

Storage - Samsung 850 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" SSD
- Hitachi Travelstar 5K1000 1TB 2.5" 5400RPM

Case -Cooler Master 690 III ATX Mid Tower

Power Supply -Cooler Master 850W ATX12V / EPS12V

i know GTX 780 is nearly as powerful as Titan black but i will use Titan black in my build for its 6 GB Vram .

Dear users please give me your advice on this build. Are there any known issues in this configuration especially with the Memory ?
 
Solution
It looks compatible, but why the Titan Black? What applications are you using that would require it? There's a 6GB 780 available, FYI.
Perfect Rig. But that PSU isn't safe for GTX TITAN.

I highly recommend Seasonic 750 W for its ampere rating on +12V rail with good build quality. Your rig must need tier - 1 PSU and that's why I chose this.

For RAM (memory), no games require more than 8GB. 2X4 will suffice for ultra level gaming.

Z chipset motherboard is for overclocking K version of Intel processor. Your 4790 is locked for overclocking. Hence, you can go with H87/H97 Chipset Motherboard. Yet, there is a possibility to overclock it by increasing the multiplier but it's not effective much.
 
Similar opinion to Rapajez, why you do you need a Titan Black?
Only applicable reason would be if this is a workstation machine on the side and your using it for professional 3D Modelling, video editing or whatever as well as gaming (But then why the comparatively weak CPU, should be X79). If not, your not getting anything a 780Ti couldnt provide (and really 3GB is plenty of VRAM, you dont need 6GB for gaming currently).

Dear Sir
Thank you for your quick response. The thing is i don't have a clear idea about the scale and size of my scene . I somewhat want to experiment on how big of a scene can be done with 6GB Vram and i am aware of 6gb 780 but i don't think i will be able to get that one .
