Unless you are doing 3d rendering there isn't much difference (in gaming) between the TItan and the 780 ti.

Why not grab a EVGA 780 ti Classified (or two) instead of the titan?

+1 for this above...

I was just thinking, for < $4000 a nice Intel 6 core setup like the one above, with triple-channel memory if possible.

Everyone looks compatible, and you've covered everything you need (assuming you already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse).

As a side note: Damn, I wish I had $4000 to spend on a PC. My budget is $650 xD Anyone rich want to donate me some money? ;)

But yeah, this looks fine dude.
