Everything looks awesome. My first recommendation would be go for a full tower instead of a mid for an easier cleaner install. My second recommendation would be to get 3 gtx 980ti sli instead of two titan x. The performance would be muchhhh better for a total of 50 bux less. May need to up the psu to a 1300w though. The 980ti is only 5% slower than a titan x from what I've read. Technically you would be looking at around 70-85% faster with 3 980 ti with a loss of 6gb memory Which absolutely no game comes even close to needing.

Instead of getting two Titans you should consider getting two 980ti cards instead. Better bang for your buck, better overclocking capability, same gaming performance. I say only two instead of three because with a 3rd card in SLI on the 1150 platform you will see strongly diminished returns. You should also get a nicer full tower case for a build such as this. The NZXT 440 is a great case as are the options from Phanteks. You should consider getting a PCIe based wifi card instead of USB. Great build overall though.

I would wait for the new AMD bechmarks. The Fury is said to do better than both Titan X and 980 Ti.

 

[Corey Koerner]

Maybe, but i need more then 4gb of vram

 

[N3rdR4ge]

Not sure what you mean. Each 980 ti card has 6gb vram. X3 you have 18Gb. Two titan x is 24gb. You would be losing 6gb vram but gaining 70-85% speed with 3 980 ti.

Not sure what you mean. Each 980 ti card has 6gb vram. X3 you have 18Gb.

two things, sorry i forgot to quote bsod1. so i meant to talk to him, second im pretty sure i read that vram doesnt stack
also isnt it better to run less cards, then more, just spitting that out there

 

[N3rdR4ge]

Yea u right vram doesn't stack. Totally forgot now that you mention it. Go with the titans!

 

[bsod1]

Get 2x980 Ti. 6 GB RAM is good enough for 4k,

 

[IamTimTech]

Two 980ti's have the same gaming performance as two titan x's. Unless you are going to be rendering or editing you don't need titans.

this motherboard is a beast overclocker, comes with WiFi support and this cooler is better than the one you picked.
IPS 4k monitor.
Overall cheaper.

Actually your wrong, Mantle and DX12 will Stack Vram but True 4K gaming support is a good one year off. Not many games truly support 4K to it's full benefit. Right now it's really hard on Hardware to achieve good FPS as well as constant issues when new Drivers when they are released. If I was going to blow 4k-5K on a PC I would wait until the API's are being well used and semi Bug free, you may find you need far less hardware to achieve a good experience.
