So Me and My Friend R Gamers, Cs Go Mostly , I got A Titan X As A Bday Present The Other Day and since my friend is wanting to build a pc i gave it to him, his budget is 500$ without the Graphics card obviously so any ideas of what could go with The Titan X?
 


Doodle_1,

Giving a GTX Titan X a good run is difficult to do for $500- you'd spend nearly the whole budget on the CPU. But, 2nd generation i7's are semi-magic: here's the first completed listing I saw on Ebahhh:

CORSAIR VENGEANCE C70 PC+ASUS P8Z77-V LX i7-2700K QC 3.5GHz 16GB RAM 1TB 120GB sold for $350 (10 June 16)

An i7-3770K would be better, but the i7-3700K has a good Passmark single-threaded rating even for today of 2011. For comparison, a new i7-6800K has a rating of 2017. The Passmark CPU average mark is 8813.

And an i7-2700K on ASUS P8Z77-V board O/C to 4.5GHz / 16GB RAM / GTX Ttian X / Marvell Raid VD 0 :

Rating: 4951
CPU: 11001
2D: 1021
3D: 10895
Mem: 2867
Disk: 2520

The ASUS P8Z77 appears to extract a lot of performance from the i7-2700K. For comparison, an i7-6700K O/C to 4.6Ghz makes a CPU score of 12193 on an ASUS Z170 Pro gaming board. That's a good score for a 4-core- and the single thread rating of an i7-6600K is one of the highest, but placed into context of calculation cycles/sec, that's +20% in +4 generations and a $350 CPU on a $150 motherboard.

This is showing that CPU on a good motherboard can wake up a Titan X. The Passmark average 3D mark fro Titan X is 10854- so the system above is keeping up with current Titan X builds.

If anyone can build a new system for $350 with a Passmark rating of nearly 5000- I'll eat it for lunch.

Cheers,

A modern i5 CPU will complement the Titan just fine. An i7 would be a nice upgrade if you can afford it. I'll stick to new hardware...

sadams04,

Very nice specification. The i5-6400 has a single-threaded rating of 1835 - quite good (CPU mark is 6538). There is enough left on the budget to change to an i5-6500- 3.2/ 3.6 Ghz rated 1945 (CPU is 7038) and = + $24, leaving about $54. How about:

Samsung 750 EVO - 120GB - 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-750120BW) > $53.46

Cheers,
