    GTX titan SuperClocked

    Hey guys i am building a new computer soon and my budget is 3-3.5k. I am a huge Nvidia an EVGA fan so i am trying to build a new comp to get the most out of the GTX Titan super clocked. I am looking to hear builds that people might would be nice for the comp. im also a fan of Corsair so i def want to get a vengeance ram they have yet to let me down. So let met know guys. What tower should i buy, motherboard, CPU, etc etc.

    P.S. Im tired of CPU fans so i would like a build with liquid cooling!

    do you have any experience with building a rig yourself? (mostly matters for the watercooling you want or not looking for custom loop?)
    also answer questions found here so we can help you better. (http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...-build-Read-me!)

    It's fine if you want to go with liquid cooling -
    try to get yourself familiar with all the parts and try it out on a old computer a few times.
    Wouldn't want your new gear to be flooded the first time would you.

    Go for the EVGA version that comes with the shirt and mousepad and stuff.

    Good God if I had the money...

    Anyways, based on what you are asking, and assuming you don't need peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc, I still managed to get you a killer system for $3k, so you'll have some spare cash for anything extra you need, like if you need a DVD drive). This was fun. ^_^

    Do you really need 32gb of ram, 2x 256 SSD and a 2 TB storage?

    I know you have 3k budget, but wasting money on things that you won't use is not a good idea...
    And if somethings goes wrong with the computer, I'll think you'll be happy to have more money to rebuy the part / fix the problem
    My first build:
    Storage: Kingston SSD Now V200+ 120G and WD Caviar Blue HDD 500 G
    Processing Units: i5-3570k @ 3.8 Ghz cooled by 212 Evo and MSI Twin Frozr 3, R7850 @ 900, 1200
    Mobo, Ram, PSU Gigabyte Z77-D3H and G.Skill ripjaw 2x 4G with XFX 550w

    RMA dude.

    Those two SSDs will be awesome, whether in RAID0 or not, giving him ample room for even the biggest of Steam libraries.
    2TB storage, honestly if you want to record video footage or anything, you want at least a couple separate HDDs, that can also hold movies, music, pictures, etc.

    Maybe the 32GB was me just having fun, but hey, it's fun to say you have lots of RAM and fast RAM. :P

    Based on this...

    Take out the Windows 7 from my post.

    Add another 2TB or 1TB HDD.

    If you want to be a real winner...

    2x2TB 7200RPM Caviar Blacks in RAID0
    Then 1 3.5TB Caviar Green to have the videos written to when you compress and render them.

    You don't have to throw money away honestly.. Your memory/case/power supply is all good, no need to change them.

    Possible upgrades if you wanna spend more money:
    - 2x 256 gb ssd in raid.
    - SLI Titan
    - 120 Hz monitor since your mainly playing FPS games.
    - Case with better airflow, like the Antec Nine Hundred Two V3 which has about the best air cooling solution for GPU/CPU.
    8700K (5GHz) - Z370 M5 - Mugen 5 - 16GB Tridentz 3200MHz - GTX 1070Ti Strix - NZXT S340E - Dell 24' 1440p (165Hz)

    Okay, now you -are- just throwing away money. Why do you want those parts, or are you just picking them most expensive stuff and linking it?

    That, and the board you listed doesn't fit the CPU.

    Why is anyone suggesting SSD in raid? Just buy one 512GB, besides bigger capacity performs better and less hassle.

    I feel like a lot of this build is just spending money to spend money. I honestly don't know what anything over like an $1800 build can provide unless doing something ridiculously specific. It's fun to do crazy stuff, sure, but the performance benefit is.. like.. nil.

    Get a GTX Titan. Buy a new, more awesome case. Like maybe the Obsidian 900D? Save the rest of that money and wait for Haswell. Maybe get a 256GB SSD for the convenience.

    I don't know why Titan SLI hasn't been suggested at that budget, but you can definitely afford it if you cut out all of the wasteful parts you're considering and go with something much more optimized such as:

    PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

    CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($314.99 @ Newegg)
    CPU Cooler: Corsair H110 94.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($119.99 @ Newegg)
    Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme6 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($159.98 @ Outlet PC)
    Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($119.99 @ Newegg)
    Storage: Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($157.25 @ Amazon)
    Storage: Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($229.99 @ Adorama)
    Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX Titan 6GB Video Card (2-Way SLI) ($1005.91 @ Newegg)
    Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX Titan 6GB Video Card (2-Way SLI) ($1005.91 @ Newegg)

    Leaves $250 for a case of your choosing. Keep your current memory and save even more.

    I pretty much agree with this statement.

    @Psycrow172, I would genuinely start out pretty cheaply before going into the realms of halo products. If you're gaming on a 1920x1080 then the Titan is a waste. If you were into video editing/photoshop then maybe I can see you justifiably spending that huge amount of money. You're not however and I may have missed it but I've no idea what kind of monitor you currently have. If it supports higher resolutions then I retract my statement.

    The Titan is a halo product for good reason. It's a cheap compute card and has godly gaming performance for this generation of cards. It's also something which I would only recommend for those gaming above 1920x1080, because for some games you'll likely see a bottleneck in performance from even an overclocked CPU.

    "Halo" is a marketing term, usually used in regard to brand recognition, and transferring desirability of something based off brand because of it.

    Usually it's in regard to brand recognition or buzzwords. Such as Item A is great, and made by brand Blergh, so Item B, C, and D made by brand Blergh MUST be good, because Item A is good.

    I think Halo is often also interpreted as "High end stuff that serves little purpose but is stupid expensive" ... like the Titan.
