980 Ti > Titan X

Also, do you really need 32GB of RAM?

Project White Lightning (My ITX Gaming PC): Core i5-4690K | CRYORIG H5 Ultimate | ASUS Maximus VII Impact | HyperX Savage 2x8GB DDR3 | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB | WD Black 1TB | Sapphire RX 480 8GB NITRO+ OC | Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ITX | Corsair AX760 | LG 29UM67 | CM Storm Quickfire Ultimate | Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum | HyperX Cloud II | Logitech Z333

Benchmark Results: 3DMark Firestrike: 10,528 | SteamVR VR Ready (avg. quality 7.1) | VRMark 7,004 (VR Ready)

 

Other systems I've built:

Core i3-6100 | CM Hyper 212 EVO | MSI H110M ECO | Corsair Vengeance LPX 1x8GB DDR4  | ADATA SP550 120GB | Seagate 500GB | EVGA ACX 2.0 GTX 1050 Ti | Fractal Design Core 1500 | Corsair CX450M

Core i5-4590 | Intel Stock Cooler | Gigabyte GA-H97N-WIFI | HyperX Savage 2x4GB DDR3 | Seagate 500GB | Intel Integrated HD Graphics | Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 | be quiet! Pure Power L8 350W

 

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.

Seems like complete overkill for a gaming rig. Also, get a 980ti or wait for pascal.

980Ti performs within 1-2% of the Titan X and is roughly 30% cheaper.

16Gbs of Ram should be PLENTY

Don´t buy windows 10... Buy Windows 7 Professional as it is half the price, and the key should work to install Windows10 as well...

You can always just manually upgrade from the windows website like I did (to bypass the selective upgrade thing they had.)

I'm 90% sure my friend's very new laptop with Windows 7 preinstalled also was considered eligible for an upgrade as well. Microsoft basically just want to get as much market share as possible as fast as possible so it's in their interest to just give it out.

You can still get a free update till next year, Even if you didn't already own W7 before the W10 release. If they say ALL users will get it for free, they do mean ALL users.
