Why would you even consider a Titan when the R90x is just around the corner, meets it in performance and is $300 less? Then there's the gtx 780....
Why would you get a 800D and not be water cooling? ( closed loop in-a-box doesn't count)
Extreme edition I7 ( $1000) now I know you're just wasting forum space/trolling. you wouldn't notice a difference in a game vs a 4770k.
You don't need a 1200wat PSU. ( and edit @ your post below: again, no you don't need a 1200wat psu, and the unless you're using like 8HDD's and water cooling, yes the 800D is wasted space.)

Did you just slap together the most expensive parts imaginable?
You don't remember or are too young to have been around for the Pentium4 "extreme edition"... $1000 bested by a $200 Athlon64.
Not to mention the socket type of the "extreme edition"..it's already obsolete.
It must be nice to waste money, but you don't even spend it properly, or make rational decisions. lol@Titan.

just went on Newegg and searched for the most expensive items you could get for each category.

That's exactly what he did.

People need to stop recommending the 660/660 ti. It's obsolete and discontinued, and you can get better( GTX760, 7950 or a R9 270X) for the same price.

Gamemako it looks like you need to brush up on your readings.

Learn more about PSU's and why they don't really pull what they list here:
http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/410
and yes the hotter the PSU the less the power output.

You're in no position to be trying to learn him or anyone. You're just all around....wrong.

1. It's a bigger hassle to build your own computer for people who don't know how to build computers.

2. 999.99 isn't at all overpriced for the system I got. All about finding the sales with the prebuilts.

3. There's no custom building a rig with a chassis as compact as an X51. Not everyone has the room for a big hulking computer in their entertainment station.

Yes it is flat out overpaying. You coudl have gotten higher quality for the same money, or less. You got a rebadged Dell.
And yes you could have got a compact case. There are many varieties of types and brands to chose from when you build. ATX, MATX, ITX, MITX...those suitable for HTPC's, those suitable for water cooling... the in between. You name it.
The only thing I'll give you is #1.

1) I love the space inside the 800D and I've used this case several times before.
2) I've done sub-zero setups and full blown water cooling setups but I'm feeling lazy currently and going with an out of the box solution.
3) I just buy the fastest CPU because I have the money. (not claiming this is a budget build by any means)
4) Yes I do need a 1200wat PSU. I'll eventually be adding 2 more GPU's and the ambient temp in my room can vary drastically. (I'm sure you're enough of a tech nerd to know what happens to PSU's when they get hot... HINT: they put out less power)

And yes you could have got a compact case.

I looked high and low for a motherboard that fits in a chassis as compact as the X51. Care to link me one?

I'm not gonna link you one. Go Google ITX or mITX.
You think Alienware ( or should I say Dell)has the market cornered on compact cases? Come on man.

I'm going to learn him all I want sir.

How are you going to do that, seeing how you're all around wrong in every thing you post? Hense why I said you're in no position to learn him or anyone.

Seems to me like they're making fun of your attitude and your incorrect use of the verb "to learn" in English.

It's a figure of speech. I'm using it incorrectly on purpose....
woosh. Kindly grab a clue. And pray tell, who is "they"? You mean (singular) Hobo? Uh oh, we wouldn't want that.Or do you mean YOU think I have an attitude, because I say prebuilts are bad, and you retort with why they aren't bad? Don't get buthurt jsut because someone who knows better is arguing a point.

I find it hard to get by on 120GB. Hell, I find it hard to get by on 2.5TB, ha!

You don't use a SSD for storage. That's what (additional) HDD's are for.

Go ahead and say it... You hate me because I'm buying the best of the best, that you cannot afford, and it infuriates you.

No.....not really, no.

This rig will be fully decked out with in a year or so, why buy multiple parts in the future when I can just get it all done now, and just upgrade slower when parts become cheaper by the time I need them.

Your $1200 current rig will be next year's $600 budget rig. Build a complete system without overkill anywhere and you'll have a rig that keeps everything maxed for 3-4 years. My box is 4.5 years old now and still champs through everything. It was $600 at the time and has $130 worth of upgrade in it. I run ARR @ max settings, only get noticeable slowdown in towns and big FATEs (all due to having slow old budget processor -- Phenom II 720 @3.4 with 4th core unlocked). Yeah, it's due an upgrade, but I didn't exactly break the bank to make it, and until the next console generation shows up and games start being made to higher specs, I don't really have need.

This is the build I'm putting together today:

This has to be a joke. A Titan? Today? And a SB-E proc?
