I'm looking to build a solid, future-friendly, entry level workstation for 2d and 3d graphics applications. In the not too distant future I hope to use a Cintiq with this PC as well. I don't need it to play games, my old machine is still ok for that. This build needs to be solid for game design and development. My budget is $2200 (roughly) including tax.

Link to buy the Titan X: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/10series/titan-x-pascal

I would have went with the Core 3300 instead. Only $10 more, 140mm fans instead of 120mm, and support for better cooling. Also, the Titan X has a severe Thermal Throttling issue. I'd look into finding a way to help cool it down. Adding a 140mm Noctua side case fan would help. Also go for MX300 series SSD for a better value.
