Hi, Guys,

I'm planning to build a desktop with 4K resolution, and i want to get a Titan X that may support several years.
My budget is no more than 3K, include everything.

Does anyone have idea which motherboard, CPU, memory, and etc that I need to get?

Thanks!

2 970s will outperform the titan at significant lower cost. With that budget i would certainly go X99 (personally prefer ASUS on X99) with 5830K (5830k over 5820k for the extra pci-e lanes seen the budget). Anything over that is kinda crazy, but hey if you really need to spend the money why not... ;)

Do you need a keyboard and mouse? If so my build still leaves $130 for those. Also wasn't sure if you wanted the monitor included in the cost of the computer.

I don't think 1TB storage is enough for me haha!
So can I just get a bigger hard drive?
and I can handle the mouse and keyboard myself, as well as the monitor.

Do you have any suggestions on a better look case?
 
Sure just get a 2-3tb hardrive (could get a 4tb let me know if that is something you would want), here i'll list a couple in that range that are at a good price.

Get one of these two over the one in my build depending if you think 2tb or 3tb is enough.
 


Better looking case in what way? Do you want a color theme? I'm not sure what you want out of the case as far as it looks.
