Question. The motherboard has 3 sli slots.
3 Titans of the same kind.

How would that fair?

BB markup corrected, please don't just lazily post a link.

What is it for? Reason why I'm asking is because its better not to go with a 9590 if you can. Its far hotter than anything Intel has which can be a pain. Not to mention that its not the best performer either. A Hyper 212 Evo will NOT cool that chip with a 220 watt TDP... In comparison an i7 4790k has an 88 watt TDP.
 
Rendering and animation mainly.

Using a renderer which utilizes OpenGL

I know the system is overkill, for that purpose, but I was just messing around with part picker list and came up with this.

I would prefer more cores in the processor, but that was the max in core size on the list.

Just out of curiosity the RPM in the cooler would be the determining factor in cooling?

Don't double post dude ;)

Well, yes the RPM of the fan on the cooler makes a difference, but not as much as the cooler itself. For the 9590 I'd really look into watercooling or some VERY beefy aircooling.
 
Since you mentioned the processor chip, would this be any better than the one I initially had listed?

Any reason you have an extra network card when the motherboard already supports 10/100/1000?

Agree on the CPU and cooler swap. Also have you considered a SSD for the operating system and your software programs.

The only other thing is that the monitor seems way out of step with the GPU capability and proposed use. I'd think about a 1440 IPS if you're going 27inch. Much better resolution and colour for your renders. Not that I do animation or any 3D work just seems to make sense.
Of course it's more expensive but if you're already considering titan x's...
Good luck :)
 
Moved the thread to New Build Advice :)

To be fair, if you are serious about rendering, I'd pick up an i7. You can save some money by picking up a different motherboard and maybe a cheaper case.

Whenever I see someone who plans to SLI/Crossfire 2 or more of some of the highest end video cards and 32GB RAM with an AMD CPU I think 'Huh, that's an odd combination of hardware that you never really see' and there's definitely a reason for that.

Not hating on AMD or anything, they're great chips for the price these days if you want gaming performance, or like a really cheap Twitch/rendering rig with the 8320/8350s, but if you want an all out balls-to-the-wall rendering system for which you'll be paying >$2000 then I'd make sure there's a really solid CPU in there.

Also agreed with Jimma, an SSD for the OS is definitely not even a luxury anymore imho. Everyone should have one. Also you really don't need a network card?
 
If the motherboard has Killer network built in I'd be getting a network card. Killer NICs are as by nature as by name.
