I'm building my first gaming system from scratch, and would like to hear what you think of it. I'm unsure if I should wait a little longer, and see if the GTX 980Ti is released in June or July.

I have considered replacing the GTX 980 SLI with a GTX TITAN X. I have heard that there are some problems concerning SLI.

It looks like the 980 SLI still outperforms a single TITAN X.

 

I am planning on playing a little with overclocking, which is the reasoning behind the 1000w PSU.

 

I would like to hear what you guy’s thing

 

(and I would like to apologise in advance if my gramma is horrible, English is not my native language)

If you have the money to spend on a titan X then I would definitely do it especially if in the future you would have enough money for a second one in SLI. There is no point in waiting for the 980ti because you will be waiting for a very long time as there is no more over clocking they could feasibly get out of that card without submerging it in liquid nitrogen. And are you sure you really need the 5930k if you are only gaming then go for at max an I7 5820k.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

I'm not sure if it's going to be the going to be the 5820k or the 5930K. My concerns about the 5820k, is the 28 lanes instead of 40.
