I bounced around the idea of the I7 4970k but im looking into the I7 5960k pretty much just because. Although i know its not "the best" cpu out there. He wants 3x SLI Titan-x but i kinda like what i see with the GTX 980ti so far. Pretty much im just asking for a bit of help from the pc gods. As far as a MOBO im not sure what is top dog yet

I don't get why you would recommend normal ssds for a x99 build. You got the pcie lanes - might as well get a pcie x4 ssd. The samsung xp941 sells for just a bit more than the 850 pro but is more than twice as fast.

That aside, 4-way sli with a gtx 980ti with "only" 6gb vram doesn't seem that good. I'd rather wait for the gtx 990ti and sli it.

Wow there are more replies than i expected from this. As far as waiting for the AMD Fury that might be possible seeing as how he wants to buy a few parts here and there but arent the AMD Fury supposed to meet the specs of the GTX 980ti? The price may be $100 cheaper but i think thats the only real difference. And with the GTX Titan yeah it has 12Gb Vram but i dont see that ever being fully used. Even with 4k. Plus with DX12 coming soon all that Vram "when its actualy fully utilized" will stack anyway.
I see in these builds there is the X99 and the ASUS Rampage MOBO. rather than looking them up ill ask you guys. Which is best? i hear a lot about the X99.

There is not "the best" motherboard. The motherboard generally has very little impact on performance, talking about <2% differences here between a $100 and a $500 board. Same goes for ram.
