Hey buddy what are you going to be using this computer for exactly?

[vanished]

that PSU is more than enough

And go 980 ti and put that money into something else, like a 5960x and an swesome liquid cooler or something

or just two 980 ti's

 

oh right, also, use PC part picker - it will help you with lots of stuff like totaling cost and checking compatibility

Hello my name is Matthew and i want to know if my parts are compatible and if someone has a suggestion to add/change my build for the better.

technically the 980ti is/can be faster than the titan X, but I still wouldn't really suggest either with the recent nano price drop, due to the money saved with free-sync and the potentially better DX12/Vulkan support

In any case I'd suggest a 4k display but that's just me

Same display type, less expensive due to free-sync

Still room for an SSD or 2, maybe a second display, you aren't going to need the extra PCI lanes that CPU gives you

No to the memory cooler.  DVI or Displayport.  Skip the Hdmi.

1000 Watts is way overkill for any 'normal' rig these days. You can easily get away with half of the wattage.

The Titan X doesn't make any sense in today's market. Not when a 980ti is performing 5% worse, at a fraction of the cost.

The 5930k isn't recommended, unless you are going for a quad-SLI system, or whenever you NEED those extra PCIe lanes. Look at the 5820k instead (or maybe an octa-core Xeon with the money saved).

That motherboard is nice, but generally overpriced, unless you NEED all of those features that the motherboard comes with.

 

I've got no objections towards SSD, Hard drive, Memory, cooler, and case choices.

As for monitors, I can not recommend that one. For the sole reason that it's using a TN panel, and that you are able to get IPS panels which use G-sync, and has great refresh rates. All the cables you need (DisplayPort) will come in the box of the monitor.

 

The thermal paste is not needed either, all Noctua coolers come with a fairly large tube of thermal paste.

 

With the money that you save on some components, you can spend on others. An additional screen? Graphics card? Larger SSD? Or even an NVMe SSD.

I was stuck at a 2200 dollar limit when I made my PC.... it was life threatening.

Will two 980 ti's be enough for 4k gaming, or over kill?

Your proposed build is more suited for a workstation. A 5930K and 32GB of RAM is overkill for gaming.

Two 980Tis are basically the only things that can give a consistent 4K gaming experience. Here's my take:

I'm no the best with PCIe lanes, If i were to go dual 980 ti's in SLI will the 5930k make sense, or should i just go with the 5920k?

[HKZeroFive]

You're not building a workstation so you don't need a 5930K or a 5820K.

 

An i5 will do fine.

[Nonco]

Haha I was afraid of that type of answer :')

 

Essentially yes that is a very kick ass machine, however for video games alone, its essentially burning money.

 

You really don't need those kind of specs for video games alone. That PC would be more so used for a high power workstation for video editing or 3D modelling/rendering.

An 5820k is good enough for a 3-way SLI setup.

Nice and simple, I like you.

Have a suggestion for a Great Gaming i5?

[HKZeroFive]

Yeah, a i5 6600K would do nicely. The Kraken X61 and Z170 can overclock that CPU and the dual 980Tis will allow you to to play 4K easily:

So you are saying this will be good for next gen games at 4k with mid to high settings?

[HKZeroFive]

Basically. On high settings in GTA V, I wouldn't be surprised if you got around 60FPS. Same story for BF4, easy 60FPS on 4K with Ultra settings.

The Fury cards keep up well with stock 980tis

Wow thanks for all of your help than! I think i have reached a decision on my new computer, But the Monitor, wouldn't the Asus ROG swift PG278Q that has 144hz refresh rate and 4k w/ G-sync be a really good fit for this computer? . http://www.amazon.com/Asus-PG278Q-27-Inch-G-SYNC-Monitor/dp/B00MSOND8C

True but some games don't utilise SLI/XFire. Might as well get two 980Tis.
