Posting the pcpartpicker permalink makes it easier to review a build and available options.

 

Why a Titan Black?

 

Do  you plan to buy memory?

 

Why such a large psu?

 

Why did you choose the G1.Sniper 5 motherboard?

the cpu cooler will probs come with thermal paste

no ram? nice

please tell me  you are going to use a 4k monitor with this build

Haha the reason why no RAM is because I was gonna get some RAM off newegg.com that I couldn't find on PCpartpicker. I will add that in.

Titan Black was to see how much I could go full out on this build and stay under 3k.

Yes I plan to but memory, I have already picked out some Corsair Vengence LP white edition.

Large PSU is because I plan to SLI in the future and Watercool so I wanted to get a big enough power supply.

The G1.Sniper 5 was because I heard it can SLI 4 cards, comes with a wifi card and antenna, can Watercool the chipset, and is top of the line when it comes to a gaming motherboard. Also because I didn't know if it would be good for media storage, music production, and livestreaming.

Build looks fine if you have a 3K dollar budget. 

 

You can get more bang for your buck with a $180 MoBo + 2x 780ti - but sounds like you have deep pockets and price/performance ratios don't matter much. 

 

Only serious recommendations I have, is to stay away from the Titan, and wait for 800 series. And think about what you mean by "future". Don't spend a ton of money on "future plans" with High performance PCs. Your 3K build is going to be obsolete in 2 years. The $1k titan will be given a run for by a $600 card in a year. (But, that's always the case.....  )

If you really want to have four gpu in SLI you should be looking at LGA2011 socket cpu and X79 motherboards. In which case, unless there is a pressing need, you may want to wait for Haswell-E cpu and X99 motherboards.

 

In single card configurations GTX 780 Ti perform within the margin of error compared to Titan Black.

If you're using pcpartpicker, post the permalink and use the custom part feature.
