People say it's like Faster then most cards in a single battle or what ever .. i'm confused now . They say it's their "Best Card"

Yeah i did. Hmm soo best gaming card is 680?

Well i can do the Titan but will i still be good on fps?

I play APB/Bf3/Crysis3/dead space3 High end games.

Do you have skype?

Get it haha so you can explain this better. >_<

The titan is the fastest single gpu,the 690 is a dual gpu on one card so its already in sli and only will give you 2gb of vram even though it says 4gb,its 2gb,per gpu wich does not add up in sli,the titan will do everything with only one card,not the fastest solution becuase sli 670 and up is faster,but a single card has no micro stuttering,which is a thing a the past and not a problem anymore,but a titan in sli will beat anything easily,and its might beat the dual cards do to extra vram,but that would only happen on a 4k monitor which nobody uses for gaming yet as the are really expensive.I personally would only liquid cool the cpu nowdays.

Fermi was hat and power hungry so liquid cooling them made sense,but now the 600 cards stay cool enough that if you don't want a massive hassle when upgrading cards in the future,I wouldn't liquid cool them,you wont have temp problem with a good tower and airflow.I would slap some liquid cooling on the cpu though if you can get the sub0 system,but only the cpu.Makes upgrading the cards mugh easier,but that is all personal preference,the new cards don't have the problems that fermi had.

I would chose the titan if it was in my budget,that makes putting them in sli in the future when prices drop an option,that will be a while,dead space3 is not the most demanding game there is,it has good graphics,but I get 50fps with everything maxed on a 675m laptop so a single titan will get allot more than that,don't expect 80fps on the titan though,you will get about 70-80% of fps that 680's in sli does which is kind of ridiculous for a single gpu,and it will consume less power.It might be more and it might be less,I can't remember where I seen the bench for it,but I'm sure if you google crysis 3 benchmark you can find it.

here is the deal,the titan is a great card if you are gonna be gaming at very high res, like triple monitor.

for gaming at 2560 x 1600 or below sli 680/670 or single 680/670 (depending on your res) will do great.

your build has some problems, for the hailstorm (my case in my sig) if you want led fans then its best you custom request proper fans.

let me explain, bigger the fan the more air it moves per spin/round, we call this round per minute or rmp, a big fan is big with big blades so each round it moves it moves a lot of air comparing to a smaller fan, for example 140mm fan will move more air then a 120mm fan per minute, this equals to = more air flow = less fan spin = less noise. So you get more air and less noise.

Now the hailstorm comes with and can fit a lot of 140mm fans instead of the fan upgrade of loud 120mm fans. so as you can see in my case I ordered orange 140mm led fans and am loving them, do yourself a favor and do the same:

Here is the updated/new version of my 140mm fans in blue

for the rad you can ask them to use these, if you do push/pull like me you wil have blue led both on top and bottom of the rad, the top will show from above and the bottom will light up the inside.

I corrected your build and upgraded a few things:
