First of all, the Intel SSDs are pretty expensive, so I personally would cut that down to a Kingston drive or something. but if you have the money and are willing to pay, it's probably worth it. If you're going for rendering AND gaming, the GTX Titan X would be a better card to go for. It will perform almost identical to the 980 Ti in gaming, but would probably do a LOT better in 3D rendering. It will be about twice as expensive, but it might be worth it if you're more into rendering. Also I have the 980 Ti and it's a GREAT card for gaming, don't get me wrong.

Not a bad choice but mrjordann is right maybe drop to two Kingston sv310 drives.

now that the titan cards to my knowledge don't double check their calcs for accuracy i can't justify the 2x cost of the titanx especially considering it's more for gaming though i am comfortable with the expence of the intel 750

my thought process is the intel 750 nvme3.0 400gb vs 2x256gb ssds in raid0

 

so would the intel 750 then make more sence?

Duly noted.

I will be saving the money over the next 8 weeks so there is time for things to change. 

Though I am still leaning towards 1 graphics card because worst case scenario I'll be using

1440p most likely 1080p making 2 980ti more overkill than the build already is. And it 

may make more sence to have 6-cores given some of the multi threaded enable 

programs I may be usings. Also I think I'll stick with the intel 750 because it's more 

for speed than capacity,

 

-But man would 2 980ti kill in 3d rendering.

 

Thank you all very much.

 

And I know this may have seemed like a quest for

affirmation more than information but i assure you it was not.
