I'm planning on buying a rig but I don't know what parts and components I should buy. Can you guys make suggestions or recommendations on what motherboard, processor, GPU, ram etc. I should buy? Thank you. And also should I buy eVGA GTX Titan X with my budget or what?
 
Solution
no you do not want the GTX titan X. the best graphic cards are not always the best for gaming. GTX 980 beats the titan in bench marks and i will tell you another graphics card that beats GTX 980. If i where you i would go with Intel build with AMD graphics card.

Motherboard - http://www.amazon.com/ASRock-DDR3-Motherboards-Z97-PROFESSIONAL/dp/B00KGEOOVG Asrock Professional series are their best boards. I have a Z68 professional gen 3 and it's been kicking ass for more then 3 years.

Graphics card - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202147 <--- able to play on a 4k monitor. not like the GTX 980
SSD -...

You will get $40 in rebates. and i didn't carfuly see if any of the items had promo codes. you can put that in as well.

with the rest of the money you can buy RAM cooler OR LED FAN's for the case.

To be honest i would not get anything else.

I'm intrigued by this build. What would happen if say I would like to crossfire the Sapphire Radeon R9 390X? and should I replace the G.Skill Ripjaws Z series DDR3 1866 16(4x4) with say a Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1866MHZ? And I'm not going with water cooling so the case suggestion is very good but what other cases would you suggest that have high air flow?

It's weird. when you look at the Overview http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20Z97%20Professional/ it only say's Supports AMD 3-Way CrossFireX™, NVIDIA® Quad SLI™ But click on Specifications on the left of the page. and scroll down to slot's it say's Supports AMD Quad CrossFireX™, 3-Way CrossFireX™ and CrossFireX™ Supports NVIDIA® Quad SLI™ and SLI™
