He meant as in upgrading from 3960k! Not from 1150! It offers more pci lanes for 3 way or 4 way sli!

No he even said a 4770k would perform better  and 3 way SLI is a waste of money and 4 way is even worse

Games don't really take advantage of Hyperthreading even if they can use that many cores. Cores and threads are not the same thing.

Like I said, an i7 won't really have any benefit over the i5. If you want more cores, yo'd want to get a 8350.

Hdds in raid 0. Replace the H100i's fans with the Gelids. The H220 isn't available in the US anymore.

No. Even the Titan is brought down to it's knees by Metro.
