    Didn't even know there were LGA1150 Xeons. Learn something new everyday.

    Under 3,000 - 780 Ti in SLI for pushing those 3 monitors (I run a similar set up, but with less horsepower)

    Nice choice, cant find anything negative.
     
    Just to give you an option, you could replace the 4670k with a Xeon E3-1230v3. Its basically an i7 4770k (hyperthreading), that comes clocked 100 MHz lower, and costs 50 bucks less. Its a Xeon, so you cant change the volts, but you can actually overclock it a bit to like 4.0 or 4.2 GHz with stock volts. Also it needs less volts as its binned to a higher standard, and therefore creates less heat per clock. Especially with latest Haswell chips, heat is a big issue, and from my experience a Xeon is a good compromise between a 4670k and a 4770k.

    Like most guys say it's a matter of preference. I gamed on Xbox 360 for quite a while and always turned off any assists possible since they were more annoying than useful. It takes skill to play FPS or any game in particular using a mouse + keyboard and same with a controller since you are limited to how accurate you can be. I know some of you may disagree about my view about controllers but if in right hands, some gamers can be insanely accurate with them. I gamed on PC ever since I was 5 so I guess I got too sucked into PC to stay with consoles for too long. Anyhow not gonna tire you with my life story xD

    It's kind of ironic:  Super mega fast Internet to China, yet a lot of the content is blocked.  Surely that's like getting a $1+ million race-car for grandma so she can go to the corner store and buy eggs.
