Advice or suggestions on build including possible cutting cost

emelious · Jan 16, 2017

Hey this is only my second time building a PC and am looking for some advice to see if anyone can spot any potential problems or if anyone can save a bit of $$ without changing the graphics card and without losing much performance on this build. I won't be overclocking and am trying to do a good deal of future proofing. It seems the graphics card is available from Nvidia's store for $1200 if im not mistaken not sure why other places sell it for so much?

$400 off with no performance hit. Could swap to two 1tb ssds and save some more.

Can one of you link the benches showing x99 platform outperforming z170/z270 with a Titan? Not having any luck here. Thanks!
