Comments: GTX 1060 placeholder/will be upgrading to a 1080ti later on? I know I don't need the asus code mobo but want it anyways :)...32 gb might be overkill. Case i am open to suggestions kind of stuck between s340 elite/the pro M or the R5.

 

Thanks for your suggestions!

Looks fine to me, personally I'd save up/wait to get the 1080ti if you really want one so that you don't have a 1060 laying about. I'd go for the r5, but I'm a sucker for Fractal's design aesthetics. One thing I would change is cheaper RAM, or maybe less. $200 for 32 gb is a lot to pay for not much gain (over 16 or even 24), unless you know you need it.

Nvidia will make a ti, they want to continue printing money. Also, it's happened for the past few generations, and they seem to love tradition, seeing as they called their top card the Titan X twice in a row.

It may well, but hasn't yet, we shouldn't advise people to build/wait on pure rumours. It was already supposed to have been announced at CES according to rumour, rumour will keep having it as being announced at what ever the next tech event until it actually happens. And if were going by tradition, previously they were released within 9 months (not announced, actually buyable) so I would have expected the announcement already if it was coming unless they have a) fabrication issues, b) waiting on vega, c)milking XP money cow
