Yes it needs to be able to game across all of them, my 2 980's do it just fine, I had 3 770's.

If it doesn't then you can always add a 2nd card. The Samsung 850 Pro is probably the best SSD on the market. I wouldn't usually spec it, but for a workstation environment it is a good choice. Same reason with the WD Black HDD. If it was just a gaming rig I would go with Crucial BX100/MX100 and WD Blue. I don't know how much Ram you will need.

Posted April 16, 2015 Gaming is not, I do alot of work from home and I will need at least 6 cores and I could go a little over $5,000 would be the absolute max If that's the case, we'd do things a bit different. The Intel SSD is a PCI-E storage device, these are faster than SATA devices. This drive is specifically for your OS and Applications. Maybe even a few games. The Samsung SSD is an alternate device for less significant applications and other storage, but still fast as hell. The HDD is simply for mass storage. Went with an awesome mobo that will allow just about any upgrade you can imagine down the line. The 5960x is a no brainer in your budget, with your intended usage. 64gb of DDR4. Now not the fastest, but this kit sports a low CAS Latency(For DDR4). The Titan X is brilliant. Start here, get your work and play PC sorted, then add another whenever you're ready. This PSU is rock solid, and will allow a wide array of upgrade options down the line. There's more expensive cases, but this one nails just about everything a builder, and owner, would ever want in a case. Overall, there isn't much that this rig couldn't do.

Posted April 17, 2015 If that's the case, we'd do things a bit different. The Intel SSD is a PCI-E storage device, these are faster than SATA devices. This drive is specifically for your OS and Applications. Maybe even a few games. The Samsung SSD is an alternate device for less significant applications and other storage, but still fast as hell. The HDD is simply for mass storage. Went with an awesome mobo that will allow just about any upgrade you can imagine down the line. The 5960x is a no brainer in your budget, with your intended usage. 64gb of DDR4. Now not the fastest, but this kit sports a low CAS Latency(For DDR4). The Titan X is brilliant.

We're talking about a luxury build here, with a 5k budget, not a $500 budget rig. Give the man some high quality stuff. What makes it outstanding over a $300 board for example ? I have never been a fan of ASRock Myself so I would generally avoid their products. If you want a 1000W psu then there are cheaper options such as the EVGA GS 1050W (Seasonic oem) for $139. You can get high quality without buying overpriced components. Most Corsair stuff is overpriced. The G.Skill Ram is excellent.
