Thanks. That should take care of everything?

Yeah the only thing is those Titan Zs drink power so you'll want an AX1500i or better if you don't already have the components.

I couldn't find that psu so I went with the G2 1600. But thanks for everything. I built this system over 4 months ago and the power usage is real but that's the least of my concerns. Just needing to know what SSD to go with and thanks everyone for the help.

Here it is: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/ax1500i-digital-atx-power-supply-1500-watt-fully-modular-psu

I know there's no point since you already have the system, but I recommended it since it has digital monitoring and actually delivers it's specified wattage (not that your current PSU isn't good). It's a good PSU lineup, and if you have the $$$ to spare on future systems, I'd fully recommend it.

Thank you. I'll check into it. Really thanks again.  :)

Big sale on Samsung SSD's on amazon. Almost bought the 1tb one myself.

I'm not an Amazon fan. If I can buy it locally that is better. I just dislike it if I buy something like that online, that I have to ship it back if it's DoA. Locally bought, I can just exchange it and have it when I need it. Thanks for the information though.
