Don't waste your money on the titan X. Just go with the GTX 980ti. Titan X is not double precision, like the original titans were, and they game pretty much same as 980ti. Not sure why you need all those fans either, the ones that come with the case, are sufficient. AC5 is no needed. The supplied thermal compound is fine. 850 pro is not worth the premium, over an 850 evo. No offense, other than the CPU, it looks like you just chose whatever was the most expensive and just threw it into the system. Changed a lot, added a 5960x, and still came in $1k cheaper. Unless this is going to be used for professional work, the cost is still insane.

I chose these parts for future proofing. And you switched my monitors, I'm going to keep the build I had, thanks though

In my opinion, a complete and utter waste of about $5000. You should start with a $2000 build which would be more than enough for any game/application and save the remaining funds for progressive upgrades. That way, your $7000 investment would last you far longer than your current "build" would.

How are your future proofing anything? The titan X and the GTX 980ti are never more than like 3fps apart @4k resolution. I chose an 8 core chip to your 6 core. I chose 2x 144hz, 1440p monitors. You had a 144 and a 60. I even gave you more storage, as 3x3tb in Raid 5 would be a far better solution, if you care about data loss at all. You see big dollar signs and think it is better. It is not. My build was $1k less, and superior. :lol:

You gave me free sync monitors with Nvidia cards... The titan x will last longer with more vram, I don't need that much storage.. my build is superior ;)

And thats the mistake everyone with money to blow makes.Technology moves too fast. You can spend $2200 in graphic cards now and in three to four years, they'll be obsolete or you can soften your e-peen and lower your expectations and spend around $550 every two to three years and instead of being obsolete in three years, you're still current in 10 years.

Obsolete in three years or current in ten years. You tell me which is more "future proof".

Yeah. I don't see this build having any problems and I left in the additional waste of $1500 KVM.

Building a beast is fun until you realize you might have overspent, then you
can watch technology pass you by in the fast lane.

I can see the logic of going socket 2011 for the pci-e lanes. A good motherboard
can carry you forward with ease. You had headroom to get to 64GB of RAM but this
is far more when the price comes down for DDR4.

ASUS RAMPAGE V EXTREME/U3.1 LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 brings 3.1 to the table.

Multiple drives allow for in/out and other things necessary for work flow.

Buying one graphics card is a good start as well. If there are lags then you can
add more. If not then a single card replacement two generations on is a better
deal. Having two cards is not additive the RAM doesn't become a contiguous whole.
You do get two gpu's but the room size is still 6GB.

Bang for the buck is the 980Ti.

Big storage is a given, it's cheap too and multiple SSD's are for throughput.
Adjusting the budget around that would see 3 SSD's. You could even get an M.2
for the OS and main apps. Two medium size 250GB's give you speed for working
and scratch and then two spinners in the 3T range.

You haven't mentioned the software you are using and whether you are
currently hitting ceilings or what your current hardware is. If this is a jump
ahead while having big cash handy it is better to ease in to things.

First and foremost, you said:

All opinions are welcome...
Click to expand...

Here's my opinion.

1) You're spending $650 on a second graphics card that allows you to see better details in the environment while maintaining an acceptable frame rate. My question is, why the hell are you looking at flowers when you should be kicking ass? Better yet, as a potential team mate, why are you looking at the scenery when you should be covering my ass?

2) You're spending $100 on supposedly silent case cooling. Actually think about this. If you're playing a game and you have the volume on or even headphones (as your $240 sound solution suggests), you're not going to need "silent" case fans. Can you even power eight case fans?

3) Why are you using two different 27" monitors?

4) Why are you using such fast RAM?

5) What benefits are you getting from a $390 motherboard that you're not getting from a $201 motherboard?

6) Why do you need 4TB of storage space?

7) Why do you need a $240 sound card/Headphones?

Answer each of these questions and I'll call, "Bull" on each and every one. If you want bragging rights on your gaming system, why are you even asking for opinions? Throw your money away and be happy. If you don't want honest opinions, don't ask.

The two graphics cards are for better frames for better smoothness
The fans are for low Temps
One Monitor is,for gaming while the other one is for better colors for better videos
The ram is for fast rendering and editing, among o ther things
The motherboard includes better features than the other one
The storage is for video space and other programs and such
The headphones is for gaming, I like sound

Turn down your settings. A $400 GTX 970 at medium settings will likely provide you with the same frame rate at a $700 savings. Anything above that is eye-candy and if you're too busy looking at that, you're not playing the game.

The fans are for low Temps
Click to expand...
Any $6.00 pair of case fans will move just as much air as your $25 pairs and don't talk to me about how loud they are. You're wearing headphones. That's another $75 in savings.

One Monitor is,for gaming while the other one is for better colors for better videos
Click to expand...
Since you're unlikely to be doing both at the same time, why not just get the ASUS ROG and call it a day? There's another $560

The ram is for fast rendering and editing, among o ther things
Click to expand...
And unless you're doing this professionally as part of your job/business, you're not going to notice the difference. Show me a benchmark that shows a significant performance increase over the $133 RAM I listed. That's another $410 in savings.

The motherboard includes better features than the other one
Click to expand...
Here's a side by side comparison. Specifically which features are you referring to and do you actually think you'd need them? $190 in savings.

The storage is for video space and other programs and such
Click to expand...
This one, I'll actually let slide.

The headphones is for gaming, I like sound
Click to expand...
I have a $70 set of 5.1 surround sound speakers that produce more sound than I (or my apartment neighbors) could ever want. $170 savings.

All totaled, that's around $2100 you're overspending... in my opinion. However, it is your money so you do with it as you wish.

Still determined to waste money on Titan X, when a GTX 980ti has the same performance? The money wasted on that, could get you a 5960x, which would be helpful with the non gaming tasks, you are intending. 2x500gb Evo's, in Raid, 0 are probably cheaper and would be faster. That corsair ram is not doing a thing for you, but costing you more money. Wasting almost $150 for a name. If you are going to spend a crazy amount of cash, do it a bit more sensibly. Better performance, for less.
