What res is he going to be playing at?

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

Dang! Wait for the R9-290X is you're going to be buying the Titan! Either that, or replace it with a 780 DCU II. :P

Looks good to me. An alternative is to go for a 780 and perhaps a better Mobo or something... Just An idea. An if it's matx, how would two 780's compare to one Titan, bearing in mind it's not too much more with a budget like that

780 SLI would kill TITAN.

it really depends on what you mean by "portable". If your friend is super big it might not be an issue. But one thing that I would recommend is SSDs. You really don't want to be moving HDDs that often, in I assume a car, you could do that with $2k. And if you do get HDDs get a case with hotswap bays so you can just take them out when needed.
