Ooo that site is cool. just eyeballing it looks like the 660 is about a 25% improvement on everything my 560ti does. considering the ~150 i would get back between selling my card and free metro, that seems worth it. is ~50 bucks for a 25% increase in performance worth it at this point? im still on the fence.

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.

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.
