Which kingston ssd? I would get the 850, is the best

[Hman1250]

If this is for gaming, you would NOT NEED 32GB of RAM. You can also save A LOT OF MONEY by going with a GTX 980 ti, similar performance, just half the VRAM but ~$300 cheaper. The SSD isn't very good as well, you could go with a Samsung SSD with this budget. I would go with this:

You could probably go with a 750W but the 850W was only $10 more after rebate

980 ti is 10-20 fps faster than titan x especially if you buy a water cooled one which are still 300$  cheaper

A reference 980 ti performs about the same as a Titan X. A 980 ti G1 Gaming from gigabyte beats the Titan X even at stock speeds.

No it isn't. Both cards use the exact same chip. 980Tis only seem to be faster, because there are a lot of overclocked model on the market.
Still, the 980Ti is obviously the better choice for OP's needs.

[SuparNik]

thats what i meant as you its quite expensive to buy aftermarket titans compared to 980 TI aftermarkets that can be faster and i know you didnt mention this but the VRAM difference is negligible to no difference

But at long term, isn't the Titan better?

[SuparNik]

nope by the time you need 12gbs of VRAM the titan x will be a shitty card beaten out by th by the 70-60 cards

No, most Titan Xs are reference designed, any aftermarketed 980 Tis like G1 Gaming, Twin Frozr or EVGA SC are better

considering pascal and polaris are scheduled for late spring , i would wait.

[SuparNik]

im waiting for Pascal for  dat 1070 powa but if your on top end of the spectrum money may be less of an object and waiting may not be as important but definitely 980ti over titan x
