Titan Z for compute. R9 295X2 for gaming.

I love the look of the X99 deluxe. Why can't more manufacturers start making motherboard with white accents? Also, I would consider getting a white power supply from Fractal Design or NZXT to match the build.

 I would...  but i'm not spending another $300 plus for a new PSU. The AX1200i is plenty good.

Wonderful. May I ask if you will be going with a custom loop, or a closed loop cooler? Or air cooling?

 

Great job as always.

I will be using a Corsair H110i or another 240MM CLC. Not investing in a full custom loop at this moment.

I'd say titan Z, If you put them on a water block and overclock them, I would imagine they'd out perform the r9 295x2.

 A slightly overclocked Titan Z on air already beats a R9 295X2.

Do you make all your money from digital storm?

 

How much business do you actually do?!

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

Some of these parts are engineering samples that can not be sold as parts to customers.

Looks even smaller due to the fact that I removed the hard drive cages!
