i did ask for pure criticism, so it was my aim to not rply to this in such a way, but ive thought it might help.

i pick the titan black because i like things being overkill or as i see it ''overly qualified for a job'' when i edit i want overkill for what i choose, on a 2K monitor that can do a 144 refreshrate - if i can record at 100-144FPS a second
then editing can be utilized to it's fullest - for instance i can slow things down and not lose any quality..
so its not so much about it being overkill, but about it being more than capable of getting a job done.
I don't want to JUST be able to do a job, i want to know it inside and out
- i want to be able to get it done in my sleep.
and in this way, i can choose when to add more to what i know, or in computer terms i can choose to expand without upgrading the entire system.

can you specify? why anyone person would need 3-4 builds? i know its possible, but why would that work better for me?
your kind of just stating the obvious, no disrespect intended.

This is what I would buy for only playing games. You can save the remaining money for other things.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with spending 6K on one PC and all it's peripherals, but you really need to do your homework and spend the money in the right places. The build you were looking at getting is absolutely ridiculous and you're wasting so much potential by over spending on your CPU, motherboard, memory and PSU. Drop the money from that and invest in another monitor, better cooling solution, external storage, sound system, etc.

In more detail.....

Throwing so much money on a CPU is simply not needed. Like TechCIDLC mentioned if you're just playing games then the I5-4690K is more than sufficient. Sure get an i7 if you really want but you won't have any need for more than an i7 4790K which is half the price of what you were thinking of getting.

Also you've got 6TB of HDD in your machine.. why? If you really need the storage then off-load that onto a NAS. If you need faster than 1GB and don't necessarily need the networking capabilities then get a multi-hdd enclosure USB3/eSata box. It will be more expensive than dumping them into your machine but not by much, and would always be my preferred choice if I had that sort of money.

2133mhz RAM is over kill in nearly all situations, especially gaming.

Drop the over priced motherboard.

Getting a Titan Black for single monitor set-up is stupid. If you cost up efficiently then you can get another monitor without impacting performance.

Also $6000 and no decent sound system? Do you already have something set up for that?

Look at investing your money into better cooling solutions too, that way you can over-clock very easily..

I have a suggestion, why not build 6 decent 1000$ PCs and put it in a gameroom with fiber optics internet that way you could start a business with people coming over to pay by the hour or something for LAN gaming and internet.

Over time you could add PCs to your "gameroom" from the profit of the people coming over. You do that and your future is set buddy :)

Thank You!

With this you'll still be able to run everything on ultra peripherals included, mouse, kb, monitor.

I agree with the users from above, $6k for a PC is a waste. Seriously, it's insane. I'll give you a build which can play every game at Ultra settings. And even this build is too much, you could get a computer for $1000-$1500 and still be able to play every game at Ultra settings.

I'm not completely sure how to set up the internet and so on, however the computers would all be aligned in a single row a simple room, if it's a gaming room then it's not like people would watch movies or anything like that. After setting up the PCs get a program called Cybercafe Pro and it automatically checks the timings that the customers paid for and how much time is left there are a lot more details which would make this an essay so have a look at this site : http://www.wikihow.com/Host-a-LAN-Party
