@JurunceNK build won't bottleneck but he saved like $4 by going with a slow SSD and a dangerous PSU.

Take functional with a grain of salt it means you could turn it on once.

[Wolf_Lbh]

I hate to be "that guy" but why a titan x and not a 980 ti? I only ask because this is a "cheapest build" thread and the 980 ti offers literally the same performance give or take 1fps (seriously) and is half the cost. So if money is such a big deal you are willing to use a psu that might give you superpowers or burn your house down I don't understand why you would be willing to just burn $500 for literally 0% performance gain.

[Starelementpoke]

Power Supply Missing.

Case comes with one.

I hope you don't think people are physically building these.
