It's 8x4gb not 4x8gb. You want 8gb sticks not 4gb and you don't want to fill all 8 dimms right off the bat. Pcie ssds cost more. You want more space for less money. I don't know which model of the 980ti other than it's water cooled. There's like 2 different models that are wc but most companies are fine anyways. I tried going on their configurator but I'm not getting the same options as that. It just might be a waste to buy more expensive stuff when it makes no difference. People too often assume that something that costs more is better when that's not true. Or something that is better but they are paying for something they don't need for their use.

I was looking for a second opinion. It's a large purchase so my last post is to make sure that a Dual Xenon config is the best route. Please, if you will look at this list. It looks like it's well conceived can I email it to you? I am unable to copy the quote and post it into this forum post.

Thank you so much for your reply I just saw your message and really appreciate it.Whatis the difference b/w the PCIe SSD and your recommendation of using a sata SSD?
are you ok with my choice of using the GTX 980 ti card? is one vendor better than another?
In the quote the memory is also spected out for 4X8gb. Am I missing something?


thank you again !i
