Hi xXwarhammerXx,
This is an interesting build. It doesn't seem that budget is a problem. I don't see any glaring problems but I might do a few things differently. 1. If you are wanting a workstation class computer you might be better off with workstation class GPUs. If you just want the Titan X you won't be getting much performance from the fourth one. You could save a bit of money with just three Titan Xs with a very small decrease in performance. Most of the time you won't know the difference. 2. I might also consider a different case. The Apollo is not usually the first choice for a gangbuster build like this. The Hailstorm II or the Aventum II may be a better case for this build. They both offer better arrangements for multiple Radiators. Probably not necessary but something to consider at this price level. 3. You have selected a Hailstorm II Chassis Mod option but you have selected the Apollo case. I think you will have to drop that option unless you change cases. Frank |
