You didn't know AnandTech? Now you do. Everybody should know AnandTech, there are very few tech hardware sites as thorough, unbiased, and well-edited. Look at their review of the HTC One to see what I mean. TechReports is comparable, but a little broader in scope. I also don't recall them having that handy-dandy CPU/GPU Bench comparison feature.

So I revised my build a little...

Again, the WD drives and second Titan are coming LATER. Initial build will exclude them.

I still need one of them fancy 3930Ks. That's my next upgrade...if I don't get irritated into buying a PCI-E sound card first.

Goddamn. Dropping almost $6k on a PC? Haven't seen someone do that in a while. What's it being used for again?

He doesn't have his planned 3x3014s in there either. That'll be another 4500 dollars.
I think he'll be using it to watch HD movies.

Gaming, video editing, and general use.

Also I'm a computer enthusiast so I don't need an excuse. Cost comes out to just over $5,000 at my price.

Nearly twice the price for not much of a performance boost over a $2000 computer. Waste, even by enthusiast standards. The i7-3930K is the most valuable component in your build, and spending on 1866 MHz RAM is, by every account I have read, a pointless gesture for Sandy-Bridge-based systems.
