  • CPU: ???
    MotherBoard: MSI X99A GAMING PRO CARBON ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard
    Case: Fractal Design Define S w/Window ATX Mid Tower Case
    Video Card: Nvidia Titan XP's (Pascal) * 2 (Running together with the Nvidia SLI HB Bridge)

I would go with a 5820k
Corsair Vengeance LPX, 2133 mhz
You could get a Samsung 850 evo SSD for bootup and get something like a 2 tb hard drive to insure you have plenty of space
For power supply I would go with EVGA SuperNOVA G2 850w would probably suffice

EDIT: I always like to use AIO in place of air, I use a Corsair H100i V2 its works pretty efficiently

The recommended power supply for one Titan XP is 600w and i'm gonna have two so I think 850w would not be enough. and for the Corsair cooling would i need two one for each card?

Actually if you look at pcpartpicker they do a really nice job of claculating max wattage if every component was running at max, it calculates it to about 750W, recommended does not mean thats how much it will take up, so if you feel like you need more get more, you can ruin your system by having to big of a power supply, also thecorsair h100i v2 is for your processor, were you wanting to Water cool your GPU's as well?

Sorry typo, You CAN'T (Can not, just making that clear) ruin your system from having to large of a Power Supply, I don't know much about Water cooling a GPU so you would probably have to do some more research on that

EDIT: So if you wanted to get a 1400 W Power supply, it would be quit alright

That 600w recommendation is for the whole system and is very liberal. When GPU manufacturers make those PSU suggestions they take into account that many PSU’s are poorly manufactured and do not perform at their rating. 850w should be plenty. But as it’s already been said you’re not hurting anything but your wallet by getting a more powerful PSU than what you need.

Sorry for the delayed response I was busy and had run into computer problems but to answer your question yes I have put a good amount of research and thought this was a good idea.
