Hi,
I decided to pull the trigger and go absolutely insane with my PC. Here is the link :-
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/3wyVFd

I have clearly gone insane.

Now will the two cards have enough power to run the 3 displays smoothly?
I want to get 60 fps at least at Ultra at all times. Also, is there a way I can do this; I want to use the 3 displays while gaming and the TV is wall mounted and I want to use it while browsing videos and watching my favorite shows. Also any constructive critisisms about the parts list is welcome as the Pc is not coming until Christmas so I have time to change it.
Thanks

We'll see, come Christmas.
 


People who say they have $16k to drop on a PC never do.
It's fun jawing about this on a quiet Sunday morning, but silliness is just silly.

You'd get more action with 'da ladeez' if you buy a gold plated crapper, rather than this collection of random mismatched parts.

Go ahead...prove me wrong.
Buy it, build it, show it off here.
 


Why are these parts mismatched? I seriously want to know, because I don't want to drop a bomb on this thing and then it turns out that it was crap (highl doubt anything with two titan x's is crap. But it would be sad if it wasn't as good as it could be). Help me improve it. We have a lot of time. Now 'da ladeez' comment was a joke. Please let it go. If you can out do it at a lesser price please let me know. I want the best in terms of performance, I don't care about the price. These were, in my head, the highest end hardware available so I put it together.
 


And then we will build something that will out do it in games for less than 1/4 the price.
 


Please do send me the parts list. I don't care if I spend $1k or $20k. I just want the best in terms of performance.
 


I will eat my motherboard if he builds that pc.
 


Good Pc yes. But it is not the kind of step up I want from a 5820k/ 980 pc.
I want a pc the likes of Jayz or Nerdcubed. Something that will play Doom at 4k or at surround at Nightmare and I won't have to worry about sub-60 frame rates. If you can put something like that together, great.

But out of curiosity why are the parts mismatched doe?
 


Why, you can overclock a 6700k further then a 5820k because it has less cores and it has better single core performance and you know what that helps out in? games
 


So you are telling me a 6700k clocked at 5.5 GHz beats a 6950x at 4.3Ghz? What about the the things that come with X99 like support for more RAM etc?
 


In single, duel, triple and quad core (and maybe even 5, 6, 7 and 8 threaded tasks) yes Ram besides the size(16GB) has little to do with gaming
 


But I'm already on X99.....

That build just isn't very good. Anything less than 22 cores and 128GB RAM is a waste.

getting there, would game better and 5k less!

Now dump all that water cooling garbage that will barely get you much more performance, and dump the 64gb of ram which is worlds more than you will ever need, and the PSU down to a reasonable level. If you exclude the monitors and TV the price on this one is almost reasonable.
