Do you absolutely want to do 4k Gaming? 4k Gaming just doesn't have the right GPUs out yet. It is very inefficient.

You have a nice build there, nothing I would want to change. A little overkill with the power supply. The cooler is good, too.

Titan X SLI is the best you can do. Some might say AMD's 295X2.

I would go for 1440p 144Hz and save a lot of money and also get much better performance.

That's something I've been struggling with, cause it's about time for me to get a new pc, but I'd hate to do this and get something that cant do 4k and have to upgrade again in a year. Minus the gpu, would it be a safe assumption that every other component could work when the 4K GPUs catch up?

yes it's the best you can buy without going too crazy.

Sound cards make little to no difference these days. especially if you're just gaming.

Ah ok, thanks for the assistance! Is there a video card or cards you'd recommend for high level 1080p/1440p gaming? Also I am planning on hooking up the PC to a 5.1 sound system, is a sound card still not needed in that case?

 

[bsod1]

if you check the ports of the motherboard you've selected, you get these.

Sorry, guess I should have been more specific. I know the mobo has the outputs I needed, I was wondering if the onboard sound quality is good enough nowadays for 5.1, but I'm guessing the answer is probably yes.

 

[bsod1]

games use compressed audio, i am pretty sure the sound card will not make a difference skip it.

sounds good, thanks for tolerating all my questions!
