I need advice on upgrading my rig...

I have to say it was a ballsy move repairing the pins yourself, but kudos for succeeding. Rigs looking great so far and I agree with JR on the Titan Xs, just go dual SLI. Anything else is just a waste of money unless your going to submerge them and rape the volts and clocks.
 
Also getting a red CableMod kit, I don't know if you noticed I overclocked the CPU to 4.2Ghz and the temps are still at an all time low of 37c idle and 48 under load.
 
I don't think you will fit 3 Titans in the S340 case, no clearance below the 3rd PCIe slot for it. Your gonna need a bigger boat .... I mean case

I think you're confusing the 3rd slot with the 4th.
Take a look at this:

Oooh build log for the custom loop pls :)

Sure thing, won't be until March though :)
 
My bad, forgot there was 4 slots on the board. I will blame it on tiredness. I will however go with the 3 cards are a waste. Scaling over 3 cards just doesn't work very well, to the point that several games don't even run with a 3rd or 4th card installed. This I'm sure will change over time with the newer API's, personally I would run 980Ti's over Titans.
Other than that, build is looking good, look forward to the next instalment.

Yes 3 cards do not usually scale well, although that is usually due to a CPU bottleneck. API wise I have no idea I guess I'll see, I'm going for Titans for the RAM I'm going to be doing video editing... Maybe some GPU computing tasks. I want overkill. Check out Skunkworks, Jay runs 3 Titans too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZtROXwJSCE&index=8&list=PLOXo4ndvQK790yNl5JBBBSzuBBOrzxB16
