[Well, I am on the pre order list for late march. I know, 600$ for the rift..Ouch. But I have been keeping track of it since it's early kickstarter days and 600 is pretty cheap for how it's built ( I know..Opinions opinions) Please feel free to express any concerns or ideas you may have. As I am not set on this particular build

That is a $3900 build. I still have not chose a monitor. Ill have the rift strapped to my noggin for anything that will allow it.
I went with one titan instead of two Sli 980ti for the simple fact that further in the year I can have my wife get me another titan for my birthday. I am researching on how compatible SLI and Virtual reality really is. SOme of this stuff is over my head.
I did not go with the i76700k because the benchmarks were close enough with the processor listed and I allocated that $ to go into the x99 instead.


Love Fps and exploring games Massive frame rate is big on not puking with the oculus.

Sorry this is so long]
Min Req for the rift here
RIFT

Min req for a game I will be playing - elite dangerous
Quad Core CPU (4 x 2Ghz is a reasonable minimum)
4 GB System RAM (more is always better)
DX 10 hardware GPU with 1GB video ram
Nvidia GTX 260
ATI 4870HD
Internet connection
Supported Operating Systems:
Windows 7
Windows 8.x
Elite


Other idea is go with a hailstorm...
Thoughts? Changes? Concerns?

If you're buying this specifically for the Rift, I'd hold out a few months. Nvidia supposedly is introducing the next generation Titan card (Pascal architecture) in the not too distant future and may be hitting the market before deliveries of the Rift start to happen.

That card sounds like a brute. Thanks for giving me a heads up.
I do have three months before it even ships ..Come on Nvidia!

Originally posted by Alex The Rift ships in March, there won't be any new cards from NVIDIA during that time. Please note, any new cards that NVIDIA will launch in the future, they will only be a small performance margin gain since there isn't much competition from AMD.

I assumed that their mid year drop really means way later. That is how it always works, right?
It does make me think of getting a lower price card than the titan I have chosen .Then I could swap it out when the new one does drop. ..If anything else in the pc does not need upgrading or mods for it anyway.

I understand that if I wait for everything new to come out then I will never have a rig. Yet if the new thing does surpass everything built by far... then it becomes a hard call.

Forgot: What is everyone's opinions on going with a lower end card until the Pascal hits the market? Would I have to change anything else to get ready for that beast?

I think I have I have finally locked in to this configuration.

Now to sleep on it..

Originally posted by bprat22 Hi Lucidstate.... I would recommend saving a bunch of money and giong with the 5820k and gtx 980ti.    Only difference between 5820 and 5930k is the number of Pcie lanes and for even sli, it has all you need. Gtx 980ti is within a few percentage points of the Titan for $500 less. Some testing even shows the 980ti a better pick.   The Titan's 12gb vram is the big difference and doubtful you'll use it for anything but scientific modeling, etc. Nothing wrong with your picks, however, so up to you. Looks good and good luck.

I have taken your advice and switched to those two items. I also downed my ram to 16. Being easy to upgrade if needed. VR not using sli puts a small damper in card configuration right now but by the time they do start using it, I can swich out to sli pascal if I wish.
So the new build is New Build

The PCIE card is a bit much but I thought it would be a pain to upgrade from SSD to PCIE so I would rather it be there then change it later.
