http://pcpartpicker.com/p/NZ3LLk I want your opinions on this part list that is meant for folding@home and some casual stuff. The 4x FirePro W9100 are the best out there and can output 10.48 TFLOPS of peak double-precision floating-point performance that is essential for folding. I chose the Xeons to minimize any potential bottlenecks. To be honest, I need your opinions on the Xeons, should I swap them with something else? Or are they the best? The Cooler Master V8 are the best air coolers in my opinion because they won't block any RAM slots once they're installed. I think the motherboard is really a fine choice. I chose 64GB of RAM because I heard that the system RAM should be higher than the VRAM. Do you think it needs to be changed? Since this build will be for some casual work and folding, I couldn't resist not to choose the Samsung 850 Pro 128 GB SSD. It also has a 10-year warranty which is pretty good. Nothing fancy about the case, just something to hold everything. Since this build will be running 24/7 the EVGA 1600W Titanium was the best choice. Windows 8.1 Pro is ideal since hardware drivers update come first to Windows before Linux so I went with that. This is my max budget so I can't spend more than that.

In the future, I might be assigned to create +30 one of those so I need everything to be perfect. Thank you for your time.
