The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

HOLY! That's a lot of money for a gaming build.

Some things to consider:

1) Do you really want to overclock?

2) THIRTY TWO GIGS of memory???

3) 2 WD BLACK? When you're getting an SSD?

4) Nvidia's Maxwell GPU and DX12 doesn't bode together very well. If you want to "future proof" as you speak, Get an R9 Fury X.

5) THOUSAND WATT PSU? For what?

 

I think you're getting the wrong meaning of "future-proof"

1) Maybe

2) Yes.

3) SSD is for OS only for fast boot time. 2 WD Blacks are for all storage

4) I will consider that.

5) it was $20 more than a 760 watt and higher efficiency.

This is not future proofing in any way, mind you.

I agree with the 32gb RAM. since 16 is about average now.

If the SSD is for boot, get a 120. Save some money. I can't think of a single windows that goes over the 45gb mark.

It is much cheaper to get 1 4tb WD black for storage. The only reason to get 2x 2tb blacks is for a RAID 1. But RAID 1 is so slow that blacks wont make a difference. either get 1x4tb black or 2x2tb green.

 

Wait until June before you bug any GPUs. Once pascal hits, it will be faster for the same price and Maxwell will see a price drop.

 

This thing will never need more than 700w. meaning you should be fine with a 750. go with a good brand like corsair though

High end (if not top of line) Processor, Video Card, Motherboard, RAM, Power Supply, and Storage. This is so I don't have to upgrade anytime soon.

Just because you have more of everything doesn't mean it's "future proof". -_-

He does have a point. In terms of future proofing, spent tons of money on the stuff that will last forever/ not age.(Fans, case, cooling, PSU) You can use these forever.

Thank for the feedback. I will make the adjustments to my part list. However when It comes to the PSU, there was a $20 difference between the AX760i and the HX1000i.

SLI 980Tis.

2 980Tis is a little overkill. Plus, if going to spend that much on 2 Videocards, Might as well just get one GTX titanX.
