[john719]

I am building a custom pc. Is this a good build? Could I save some money on different parts to upgrade the motherboard or CPU?

Pointless to get a Titan X with the 980 Ti being <3% slower.
No memory was on the build so I inclued some.

What is it that you are going to do with the PC?

Why Titan X go with GTX 980 Ti.. Also, the people needs to know what you are using the computer for so we can share best system for the best price.. We will not recommend haswell - e if you are just gaming if that make sense.. if your gaming we will recommend i5 for the money with powerful graphics cards.

I am building a gaming pc. I want to future proof it and I also want to be able to upgrade certain parts later on.

I would go with the 980ti as opposed to the Titan x, and change the 4x4gb ram to 2x8gb ram set so that you can upgrade to 32gb if you so desire.

32GB hardly helps in rendering. I would still get 4x4.

Here is my slightly edited version of the build. I know people are telling me to change the Titan out for a 980Ti but I want to keep the titan. My total budget is 3,000 so should I upgrade anything else (monitor or motherboard)?

The only thing that I changed was add a Platinum power supply, added a hard drive, and upgraded the motherboard, but all of which is up to you if you want.
