This is a smidge over budget, but a very solid 5820K + Titan X build at the ~$2300 pricepoint.

The price would drop quite a bit if you went to the GTX 980. But @Brian could vie for the glory of the Titan X.

If this is budget breaking, lemme know and I could put together another build for you more in range.

I picked the MSi one since I've enjoyed my previous two MSi boards.

If you can spare the funds, I would go with the Asus Rampage board, best 2011-3 mobo out there.

As much as I love the Titan X, the 980 Ti may be coming next month so I'd wait to see what happens with that as the price should be $200-300 cheaper than Titan X with half the vram and very close performance.

Here's the thing, are you spending 2000-2300 because you can, or because you need it? You can achieve immense gaming by running dual 970 cards which are significantly cheaper than 980s or Titan Xs. Honestly I'd opt for one 970, play on it (still very well) and wait for the 980 Ti line like Brian said above.

He could always "rent" a GPU until the 980ti drops, but at the same time the titan x is a monster and if you cant wait a bit for the 980ti just pick up the titan x with the above setup. You will not be disappointed. (for mobo i would go with an Asus rampage. Just my opinion, but i have one in my desktop and it's been nothing but fantastic)

Not bad builds, there is also the option of waiting until the new Radeon 300 Series is released and maybe purchasing the high end GPU with HBM.

mine will be dirt cheap;

i5 4460 (no need of overclocking, if so i5 4690k or i7 4790K should do the task)

Hyper 212 EVO (Air cooling is worth it)

Asrock Z97 PRO 4 (Z97 Allows OCing of CPU, this is capable of THUNDERBOLT 2!)

R9 290 (Or wait for that R9 390X HBM GPU and go CF if 4K is needed. Titan X is too expensive!)

8GB RAM (16GB if running a lot of apps and gaming same time)

120GB SSD (more GBs needed for great reduction of load times, a miracle nowadays!)

1TB HDD (more GBs for Personal Things such as Docs, Photos, Videos, and ETC Files)

600-750W Gold PSU Semi or Fully Modular (Cable management can help in thermals of PC)

Case with Acrylic side Panel, Case Fans 2 in front as intake, 1 at the rear and one on top as exhaust (its nice too look at the parts of your PC and the effort you put on assembling it. YEAH!)

Remember "Warm air rises, cold air sinks" (correct my grammar please LOL)

And you'll be a happy gamer like me!

if youre only going to be using it for gaming don't use the 5820k its waste of money and will be extremely under utilized. That's a 6 core with hyperthreading so basically a 12 core processor that's better for a virtualization rigs. I have a 5820 in my rig but I do a lot of virtualizing for testing products and whatnot. Even then when im running 3 or 4 VM's it still not really pushing it all that hard. If I was you Id go for a 4790 itll work perfectly for your needs.

I don't know if OP still needs information, but for anyone else in a similar ballpark I highly recommend going with the 980 ti over the 980. The 980 is actually made pretty obsolete by how cheap a 980ti is(it performs essentially as good as a Titan X for gaming just with less VRAM).

I think going for a six core is overkill, in fact an i5 would just perform the same as i7 and save some bucks.

But if you want to be future proof as games get more multi threaded, go for the devil canyon 4790k, or the 6700k

either performance practically the same, the 6700k is more expensive on the ddr4 ram.

I wouldn't go for a titan X, a sli 980ti will crush the titan. Anything besides a sli 980gtx ti is just overkill.

To get an idea here's reference of benchmark

. I haven't seen much benchmarks done in depth

Titan X vs sli 980gtx ti, but I read this short review on toptengamer review.

The sli 980gtx ti are just a freaking monster!

I pretty much agree with everything said here but there is one not-so-small thing mos people forget to bring to consideration

What screen will you be gaming on?

A single GTX970 will be more than enough for a FullHD single screen, I would only consider the 980ti sli if you are going to game on a multiple and/or wQHD/4k display setup

With multi-panel 4k support not being a major focus of game developers (or even 1080p at this point), major noticeable differences in game experiences seem to be minimal at this point -- with higher resolutions and multi-panel displays really shining in the workstation environment.

Unfortunately, NVIDIA appears to have pulled a lot of work-station capabilities (such as floating-point precision) out after the Titan series preceding the Titan-X.

Therefore, 980ti seems like a good choice for a gaming rig, while the Titan series is only moderately more efficient with gaming while losing all of the non-gaming thunder that originally made the Titan series a more appealing, one-size-fits-all solution.

In general, GPUs provide more bang for the buck than CPUs do (for gaming, that is). I'd go for a reasonable core i7 - 6700 or the k version if you really want to overclock. This also gives you an LGA1151 motherboard, so its a bit forward looking. The GTX980 should be ample for FHD gaming. Later, you can swap into the 980Ti at a point where the price would have dropped a little instead of buying it sooner. Speaking economically, you'd be better off doing that, while still having excellent gaming performance while "waiting".
