Just a slightly customized Bolt.  I liked the increased HD space and lack of blu-ray disc drive over the holiday configs, but it is a decent amount of money.  Just wanted to get people's thoughts on the card, if the upgrade to the GTX 780 Ti is worth the money, or if the upgrade to the titan would be worth it.  Or anything else I missed.  

2nd time customer here, loved my laptop, now it's time for another.

	Based on your expectations, the Titan is definitely not worth it over the 780 Ti. The Titan only wins out in a few scenarios, otherwise the Ti is the way to go. As for whether or not its worth it to upgrade to the Ti depends on the resolution you are gaming at.

	Based on all I've read I definitely agree. The Titan is a good choice only in situations requiring its extra memory e.g. multiple monitors.

	I also agree. Except for multi high resolution monitors the gtx 780ti beats the Titan. The best advice we can give is when we know the monitor's resolution you'll be gaming on. Bolt is real nice. Good luck.

	Ditto on the GPU situation. One other thing to consider is that the majority here prefer Samsung & WD over the others...

	Thanks for the help. Like I mentioned, I'm moving up from a laptop, so I don't have a monitor yet. Likely doing single monitor, but I'll suggestions for a good 27 inch monitor too. :) I'll look the at HD brands. Thanks for that too.
