Which cpu is it?

Bad Dracbear, bad!

It's from the same site isn't it?

EDIT: I meant the photos of the model/user. :p

SO WHO WANTS TO WATCH SAKURA SPIRIT?

better off with two 980s. cheaper and stronger cards. titan's pretty terrible unless you're building a dcompute system which no consumer will ever have to do

LOL isn't there like only one choice in the entire game? :p Your 'gaming' experience is mostly pressing ENTER and making fun of the images in a funny voice, while getting down to the OST? :p

GTX980 is a significantly stronger card compared to Titan. Tesla K20 (Kepler GK110) architecture is outdated. Maxwell cards run faster, cooler, use less power, and come with much more functionality and features. At the very least a 980 will run 10% faster than a Titan, up to 25% for some things.

The only benefit to using any sort of Titan is the VRAM, but if you need more than 4GB (8GB soon with DX12 in SLI) VRAM then I'm not sure what you're doing but it isn't playing games. 980 would only stall and fall behind if it runs out of VRAM and has to communicate with system memory to make up for it.

lol yeah, not spending over a grand on a cpu, that's nuts in a desktop.

Also don't need an octacore extreme branded CPU unless you plan to render 16 videos at once and ***. Can get a standard hexacore or quadcore i7 and it will work just fine for any consumer grade PC; won't bottleneck on any GPU any time soon and certainly won't cause significant issues when it comes to video rendering. If you're concerned about video rendering or throughput of videos per hour, I suggest building separate PCs for gaming/capture and video production/rendering for optimal efficiency anyway.

At the end of the day it's your money do what you want etc., but I'll still call you a big dumb for spending way more than you had to c:

A 3770k is still a good price/performance ratio apparently, for an 1155 socket, for an 1150 the 4790k seems to be a better ratio though.

I will virtually slap you if you buy a computer from one of those sites with marked up prices.

It's really not that hard, if you can use a screwdriver you can do it.

well first of all they're listing VRAM in an extremely misleading way. YOu're only getting 4GB with dual 980s and 12GB with dual Titan Zs, not 8GB and 24GB.

The most common form of SLI works by splitting frames between the two cards; one card renders frame 1, the other frame 2, etc.. To do this properly, they need to share video information and what's called the "framebuffer"; to do this, both cards are given the same information in vram. By doubling up on GPUs, you don't magically gain an additional 2-4GB of VRAM. You only have as much VRAM as each individual card has available.

DirectX12 and other low level APIs will be changing the way framebuffering works and will allow VRAM stacking, but that would only be for DX12 applications.

Just get the 980s anyway. Don't go above 2 GPUs, it's inefficient and a waste of time/money. Don't try to render videos and play 3 games at the same time on the same machine, no CPU/GPU combination will be able to do all of that at maximum speed.

+750 for vid card?wow ripoff
