I like how most high end GPUs have games bundled and yet the most prestigious cards have fucking mouse pads.
And that's only from Gigabyte - You get exactly nothing from the other vendors :|
I think it's kind of pathetic, at that price point and considering every other card these days is running that Nvidia F2P deal.

Au contraire Sethos. Zotac offers a bleeding-edge bundle of Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed II Deluxe and Assassin's Creed: Revelations.
Now weep into your mouse pads.
Really? Well I guess that's something ... Despite being their surplus stock they need to get rid of
Yes
Do you think its a good upgrade or should I wait?
It's not much use asking me as I'm upgrading from SLI 680 - I'm crazy
So I'd say yes. However Tri-SLI 580 is still powerful and if it works for you, $2000 is a lot to spend. The performance gains aren't massive.Then you can also take acoustics, heat and case space into consideration and the Titans might look attractive.

I am thinking of creating a setup more keen to overclocking and hydro cooling
Now I have no water cooling and I only use the fans
I am also waiting for the intel cpu upgrades so thats why I was thinking the Titans
Next generation starts with Maxwell in 2014, first 'proper' upgrade after Fermi. (just like Fermi was to 8xxx series.)

So...how many Pikmins can this card render at once?
ALL OF THEM!

Every time I see this thread I feel the urge to get a Digital Storm Bolt with a Titan.
Someone reassure me that the bump from 7870 is not that huge, that I better wait a year for Titan 2 or whatever

You should do it. That and the Tiki are damn fine SFF systems. I thought about picking one up...

I'll build you something better if you don't mind slightly bigger

Listen to Mkenyon. He can probably build something way better, probably a bit cheaper and not have all the exta expense that those companies add into their builds. Those builds are solid however and if you are not a "do it yourself" type of person I can see the appeal, but if there is a way to build it yourself of have someone build it for you, that might be the best option.

Water cooling can be expensive, but imho worth it in the end. Just need to ensure that you buy the right parts and that everything fits. For example, tubing and barbs/compression fittings all need to match. You also want to draw out the flow of your water loop.
You also need to figure out what you want cooled. You can do the chipset, GPU and CPU all in one loop (preferred method). Depending on how many GPU's you have will determine the size and amount of radiators you need as well.
Mkenyon can help (sorry if I am offering your services Mkenyon...lol). I could of not done my loops without his help. I did "overdo" it with my loop ordering a bit more fittings than what I needed because I was not sure on some stuff, but with carefull planning, drawing out a plan on paper and posting it here or in the other PC thread I can help and Mkenyon can help look it over.
For me, I was able to push my 690 a bit farther on water than on air due to the throttling when heat get's to high on the 600 cards. I was able to achieve a much faster overclock of the GPU and GPU Memory due to water and the best thing, my 690 never went over 38c under water, where as on air with a slightly less OC I was hitting high 70's and into the 80's at times and that was with a very agressive fan profile.

3930k should do you fine. Give it a nice 4.5 Overclock and you will be golden for a long time to come. If you go water, you can get to 5.0 or better, but that is dependent on high you want to go. I have my at 4.8 right now and works like a charm with my 690. But I know Titan is more and for me I am getting 2 of them, but I still think a 3930k with a slight OC would easily provide the juice for these cards.
Someone with more inside on CPU's can cast their opinion, but I am sure it will be fine. It is one hell of a CPU.

Why 3820 over the 3930k? Or are you suggesting due to price that a 3820 is good enought to power the Titans?
I think 3820 is good enough, although I think he meant use 3820 as temporary solution before Ivy-E comes out 3Q of this year.

What is Ivy-E? I'm thinking of building a PC around the holidays and that sounds like something I would want to consider.
Ivy Bridge E i.e. Core i7 49xx series of processors replacing the 39xx SandyBridge-E
Fuck it 3930k. Then whatever Ivy-E if it's tempting enough (who am I kidding? i'll buy it regardless).
Am "upgrading" from a Retina Macbook. I need a PC.
Am not going water, looking at 2 titan's and a SB-E in a FT03 build. Cooling is probably going to be a bit of a bitch. Was thinking H80i.

Might be worth the wait if you are considering x79 platform. Native pci-e 3.0 support, 22nm, and should overclock like the way Ivy is supposed to overclock.
did they fix this for nvidia? i thought you had to use a hack to get it to work on nvidia cards.
Not sure about Nvidia as of now, I think Ivy Bridge is only intel processor that natively supports PCiE 3.0 AFAIK.
No native PCI-E 3.0 support with Kepler on SB-E. 3820 is everything you need in a gaming processor right now, whereas the 3930K is the good overkill option. With new gaming engines and how CPU's will affect that, I think leaving that $300 of budgetary room towards an Ivy-E upgrade later this year is a much better bet.
Get the Rampage IV Gene if you go that route.
Be warned, that case will be a little loud for what you are wanting to put in.

Not sure. My Asus Rampave IV Extreme and GTX 690 ran at 3.0 fine.
Yeah was thinking about that mobo, wow loud is a little loud?
You gotta show pictures! What color (hoping titanium
)?Remember that you'll need two 80mm fans below the GPUs as the stock 120mm blocks the slot for the second card. The Titans are also kinda radial cards so a fan right in front of it isn't 100% ideal, but I have no idea how right or wrong I am though, just telling you what I think could happen.
Edit: Wait a minute, a second Titan *might* actually fit with the 120mm fan installed. It's just a half an inch longer than the reference 680.
I think a Parvum case would look quite smashing with some Titans.
I'd really just want something that had 2 120mm fans for front intake. They downclock to keep the temp low, something I'd really worry about in an FT03. TJ08 would be a good option as it has much better directed airflow. Lian LI PC-A04, V354, Arc Mini, Define Mini.....

Wow that was very detailed
Thank you very much guys
I will go for it eventually when the time is right
Much appreciated
If I can help in any other way let me know

OK that Parvum case is definitely interesting, very interesting....The GF will not allow anything that looks too PC'ish hence the FT03 choice to begin with.
Could get much better cooling with the Parvum too, probably a Kraken instead? Good idea?
I will definitely post pictures PC GAF!

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
It actually went up last night. Either it's been available for 24hrs now, or it went out of stock and just popped back in. Last night it was up for at least a couple hours before I passed out.
