Hey mate.

Am I curious as to why you purchased two Titan X's and a ROG Swift?

A 970, 290X or 980 would be fine for that display?

There are a few good $900 4k displays you could opt to use instead, as dual Titan X's would play that as smooth as butter.

 

EDIT: If this DX12 VRAM stacking mumbo jumbo crap is all true, you will have effectively 24GB of VRAM, which will essentially allow you to run 3 4K displays with ease.

well based on research i saw the the rog swift with its "gsync" was the best gaming motior but i know nothing about gaming monitors.  is there a better one for titans?  I watched linus's video on the rog swift and he said that monitor was epic.  so if theres something else thats better let me know, i didnt know graphics cards could not be compatible with certain monitors, thats why i wanted to check on this forum before i purchase anything

I would change the keyboard to the Corsair K70 RGB. Looks better and can't go wrong with Corsair.

with stacking (not physically) vram in the future coming, and having 24 gigs of vram on a signle 1440 screen will make you sad. 

get a 4k 60hz 28'' or more monitor. 

 

or go surround 1440. 

 

just... 

you dont get a titan X and not have enough pixels to push that over kill frame buffer.

Not overkill enough.

 

Go with an i7 5960X on an X99 mobo. Also, 32GB of RAM minimum.

 

Upgrade your SSD to 1TB, come on now.

 

1440p? Use 3x 4K monitors. You want your money's worth don't you?

 

jk, please don't do any of that

surround 1440 or a big nice sexy 4k monitor. maybe even that 5k dell.

Changes (from > to):
- 4790k > 4690k

- h60i > h100i, Noctuna D12, H105, H110

- 2x Titan X > 1 Titan X or 980

- SSD from 128GB to 256 or 500GB.

 

Personal preference changes:

- Razer Chroma keyboard > Corsair's RGB board (idk the name/model)

- Add another monitor.. it's really worth it. Doesn't have to be the same one, just the same size, really. (it will look better if they're the same, but Swifts are expensive.)

Thanks for the responses everybody.  so whats a really good 4k monitor for titans X's?  the only reason Im getting duel titan x's is because they practically can run any game to date with the highest frame rate with is what i want, especially since we are now in the "next gen gaming era" I want to have a pc that can run all games on the highest setting.  so any 4k beast moitor thats perfect for me?  Also I would like to have a 30-34 inch monitor, but ive noticed that most gaming monitors are 27-28 inches

Well you definitely went wrong by saying that.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

because QWERTY , DVORAK, and Colemac are all stupid and useless. i dont know how iv been surviving like this. 

cherry MX blacks on a small keyboard? good luck. 

something that fits your typing style perfectly? good luck. look at where you hit the space bar. remove the rest of the spacebar and put more buttons there. 

i hope this link works.
