1500W psu is much larger than needed. Even allowing a generous allowance for oc and upgrades. Something around 1000W should be satisfactory.

 

Samsung 960 Evo would be a good choice of M.2 drive. If budget is not a consideration, the 960 Pro offers better performance.

 

Unless one is gaming, SLI generally offers nothing. If the 3D software being used supports gpu for rendering and can use multiple gpu, it will use the gpu directly. Compared to the GTX 1080, Titan XP has much higher memory bandwidth and 50% more memory, in addition to more processing units.

Thanks for your input.

I was looking at the Samsung 960 pro... I am looking for the best deal then going to buy.

I picked the 1500i because I am trying something special that is going to require me to have more power available....Secret for now...

You have convinced me to pick up the Titan XP

 

Thanks
