Hello everyone

I'm looking to upgrade my rig in the following way:

Rampage V x99 motherboard

Intel 5960x

32 gz of corsair platinum ddr4

an additional Titan (I already have 1)

And 2 additional asus 28 inch 4k monitors

By boss said he is going to be paying me 2 bonuses I don't know why but I'm fine with it =). I'm going to be getting $2000 dollars first and in 3 months $3000 what should I spend the $2000 on first and what second? What do you guys think I should do with the parts from my old build (gtx980 Intel core i7 devels canyon gryphon motherboard)

Thanks for the feedback!

Just add another 980 to,your current build or add 980Tis? Psu upgrade is probably needed. Why would you need more then that?

What's your current rig?

I wish I could score a bonus, let alone two at those amounts.

If you already have a Titan X, you may as well just get another one. Also, you might want to get a NVM SSD like the Intel 750 series. You could also do a custom loop, or if you are less experienced, purchase a high end expandable all in one like the EK Predator.

Get the bonus first and then plan on which one to get. Go for a second titan, maybe water-cool your system.
