    No reason to do SLI, most games play better on one video card. SLI is for people who sit on their PC's and run benchmarks all day, does that describe your friend?

    Quadro is a workstation card and not meant for gaming. Fascinate has been like the only person to make a realistic build. Everyone else just seems to be picking things because they're expensive not knowing what they're actually putting together.

    So are you trying to build workstation computer with shitty quality monitors and non ecc memory? Looking at that one 120 hz monitor makes me think you are trying to build some sort of hybrid but then that gfx card wont work well with high framerates. Yes it can push frames but its still not optimal for gaming. If you actually dont need workstation computer then there is no need to build one. High end gaming computers can do consumer level stuff pretty fast.

    no that doesnt. diddnt know if it was better or not. ty for the build .

    would you be able to put 64 gig ram in that one btw fascinate? i think he likes the sound of yours the best. also is liquid cooling hard to set up?
    oh ya one last question, would you be able to do 3 monitors on it too?

    I would not do my own build if money was no object. There are some very creative PC builders who are artists when it comes to design, watercooling, coloring, etc. I would go to them and instruct them to build the best possible rig and to make it gorgeous. I repair and build computers as a living and I would still want someone else doing a rig like that.
