Introduction:

 

Hello and welcome to my first build! I normally use Macintosh computers, but a project of mine will require high-end graphics for molecular dynamics simulations. The software I use "officially" supports Tesla accelerators (K20/K40), but GeForce cards built around the same architecture work fine. Thus, I will essentially be building a gaming computer and so it makes sense to post it on these forums. Due to a limited number of supported graphics cards, I am forced to use the last generation Kepler cards, as opposed to the current Maxwell cards. However, the 780 Ti will work perfectly for my purposes.
