Any backstory on this build? Could you explain the reason behind the parts?

Other than the fact that it's super expensive, I don't see anything wrong with it other than maybe a better SSD -- Samsung 840 Pro. Don't think you'll need 256GB of SSD storage, but then again, you didn't explain why.
 


yea thanks i just cut back a little now its just under 2k
my goal was to designa gaming super computer 😛 i think the memory is needed
 
Few questions:

1. Any reason you chose a ROG motherboard? You just personally like it and aren't willing to change it or it was just the best you could find and you would like a just as equally good motherboard for less money?

2. Do you need 256GB of SSD storage space?

3. Do you need GTX 670 SLI?
 


1. do you know of any equally good motherboards? that would be awsome.

2. yes

3. yes
 


anyway i can keep ur username or something so i can send them?
