That`s really all of the stuff that I need, at least I think...

I just really want to know if the parts I have listed will work or not...

The price really (surprisingly) is not the issue as I have saved up this money for specifically doing this build.

Also, please tell me where to buy red&blue lights for this monster! :)

Any suggestions or items that I need additionally please tell me..

Any other help would be appreciated

THIS TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO MAKE THIS POST! LOL

Get a gtx780ti or a gtx980 and forget both Titans. They are not meant for gaming really. They are outperformed by a card that cost half their price.

Why 64gb RAM. Let's be honest here. Will you use it?

Same for the CPU. What specifically will you need it for where a normal i7 won't suffice?

what do you mean "GPUs not even really meant for gaming for only a 1080p monitor?" sorry, I'm just not clear with what your meaning.

I have 15k saved in total, I am really only planning to use around 8k for this build.

Same for the CPU. What specifically will you need it for where a normal i7 won't suffice? I just want a seriously powerful pc, since I am going to be multi tasking a lot, so yeah, the more power in my pc the better at least i think...

Nope, you really are wrong about the CPU. In reality a $300 i7 will game the same as that 1000 dollar i7. No difference. More money does not mean more performance.

The CPU you selected is for workstations.

64gb RAM is crazy. Get 16gb or 32gb if you honestly think you will use it.

Agree, a single gtx980 is better than these 2 titans. Same goes for 1TB SSD, 16x Blu-ray, the motherboard, 64 GB RAM...etc

These are server specs.

I already have the case which I forgot to mention, as well as the cpu cooler and the DVD drive.

So I should get the gtx980 instead of the titan... also, say that I was to get 2 of the 980s, how would I configure to run both? Haven't done it before.

YEs get a single 980. Add a second one in 2 years when you actually need it. Forget 2 GPUs right now.

Also, get an i7 4790k and a z97 motherboard and DDR3 RAM. The other setup you have is worthless for gaming as it costs so much more but doesn't perform ANY different.

Does that motherboard come with a built in power button. Cause my last motherboard didn't have that option which is really annoying.

Some do and some don't It all depends on the board/ Z97 is the chipset. There are like 50 boards to choose from.

Most motherboards don't have a power button. You simply short the power pins with something metal. Easy.
