    Don't joke, I'm thinking of getting the ASRock X79 Extreme11 motherboard so I can add two more Titans to the two I have planned (in the future as need arises).

    I'm already planning on a 7680x1600 monitor layout as well. Actually I'm planning 4800x2560 but that's just a different orientation.

    Edit: When I say "so I can add two more Titans" I'm referring to the fact that the GA-X79-UP4 only supports two cards at PCI-E 3.0 x16 speed. The ASRock X79 Extreme11 supports four. Is that really required? Not sure, it MIGHT BE for quad or Tri-SLI. The X79-UP4 can do quad SLI but every lane would be at x8 speed.

    Looks awesome, let me know how you fell about the motherboard in general and how the BIOS handles.

    Everything so far seems great. I'm able to run any game I want to play on max settings with no hassle at all. I'm interested to copy my license of 3DS Max from my old PC to this though and try doing some renders to see how fast they turn out.

    I did have an issue though that I'm unaware of the cause.. last night I was using origin to download my free copy of crysis and left my pc on overnight. Woke up to it bluescreening. Started the download again earlier and it bluescreened when the download got to 99% (however I was also running BF2:BC at the same time). I'm watching it now and its at 96% so im interested to see what it does this time..

    Big RAM is big.

    I see that you went with the Gigabyte board and not the ASRock. Do let us know how the UEFI implementation is, with pictures.
