Me again, just doing a follow-up on which parts I'll need, and improve on. As you will tell, this build will be above average. I have the money. However, I'm taking my time on making sure all these parts will work well, with no bottlenecks, or tech failures. Etc etc. 

 

To begin, this build will be used for gaming, streaming, rendering, and other. What i'm asking, is which parts can I improve on? I'm thinking of downgrading to the 780 GTX instead of 780TI. Also, maybe I can get a better brand of a Power Supply. Though, I don't know which. Maybe there's a better PSU for cheaper than the one I picked out.

ok here is the improved build

 

780Ti on 1080P is overkill

 

they work best at 1440P resolutions

The 780 is good if you are running a single 1080P monitor like the gaming monitor from Asus

 

The 780Ti is great for 1440P

 

since you mentioned money is not the issue the Ti is the best card you can get

 

the Titan Black or the Titan Z for that matter are pointless unless you are doing serious 3D rendering

16GB of memory is a better for the 4930K build. If less memory is needed, then likely an i7-4770K on LGA1150 would be a better choice,

 

As nice a motherboard as the Rampage IV Black is, it really is overkill for this build. The money is better spent on other components. A high performance larger ssd for example.

 

I've included a top rated Seasonic psu that provides some room for expansion.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

i like your build too but the only thing bugging me is the monitor

 

780Ti powering a 1080P is overkill 

 

either a single 1440 IPS or drop it to a GTX780 or GTX780 SLi for three 1080 monitors
