Need Advice on Builds for Two Different Computers

Hello, I'm looking to buy two computers for a relative and me in preparation for the fall and winter games. I wanted advice on two builds that I came up with. I also had a few questions:
1. Is the Integrated Motherboard Audio enough or should I invest in a Sound Card? If I do, which sound card is the best?
2. The Corsair K95 keyboard came out, and it looks nice but does anyone know if it's worth getting? If I got the keyboard it would be for me not my relative, and I play RTS's like StarCraft 2, FPS's, and Turn Based Strategy games.

Budget:
Around $3500 for each computer.

Expectations:
Looking for computers that can game on very high settings on a 1080p monitor, but can still handle a 2560x1600 monitor if need be.

Usage:
High Definition Gaming; general web surfing

Special Needs:
Looking for quiet computers with great storage for music and games and that have great cooling. I like to stick with single graphics card setups instead of SLI.

Thanks for your help.

For what your using it for I don't believe you need a Titan, I'd go with a GTX 780 and that should max out almost any game your playing at the res.

And take that cpu up to 6 cores and you should have a rocking system for years to come.

You can always upgrade your video card if you need to, but processors are a lot harder.

Hi Hawk...   Stick with the Z87 Sabertooth unless the added money for the Maximus isn't an issue.  The Z87 Maximus is primarily for those that want the option to go tri-sli, 3x video card or more.    It has other features for those that want to push overclocking, etc.  but for most, not needed.

Hey gloryofthesky...  I didn't mean to dis' what you said about 6 core.   Just me being blunt.       Some might say something else.   Nothing wrong with future proofing, especially since none of us really knows what's coming down the pike. 

Love the HafX with Noctua D14. Quality and dependability.    


I would stay with level 1 oc.      Not much additional performance between 4.3 and 4.5 plus the stage 2 might need stage 3 water.    Safer, less heat with little sacrifice.

As bprat22 has said, I would also stick w stage 1 OC on the CPU unless your using a custom water cooling setup. That is the only method I'd trust for stability, reliability & longevity on that high of on OC.
