How about a 5930K on an Asus X99E WS (8-phase VRM with 60A FETs, 12K caps, and 60A Blackwing chokes)?
No seriously, I'm going to upgrade to that lol. Kinda need a ton of PCIe slots for something coming up, and the extra CPU performance doesn't hurt.
Yeah, that motherboard is excessively appealing to me. If I went that route now (which I can't really justify - sad times, I know) I'd likely be getting the 5960X and a couple more Titan Blacks. Getting enough high-end RAM in the capacity that I would want for it is another limiting hurdle. And actually, I'd also want 12GB per single GPU card ideally then too (instead of just 6GB), with the way I use them.
So yeah, not gonna happen with the current gen. of available components, unfortunately. I just hope ASUS keeps making WS boards as badass as the X99-E for my future purchasing options down the road.

Right, oops. I've been out of the computer scene for a few months and forgot what a lot of stuff means.
1080p simply means 1080 scan lines, regardless of horizontal resolution, right?
My bad.
1080p means a progressive frame having 1080 horizontal lines of vertical resolution, meaning they are stacked vertically but containing horizontal depth.
Don't forget, there's always someone out there with a better setup than you. Not worth bragging, the Recon 3D is outdated.

There are plenty of members in the Science, Computers, and Technology subforum of the Minecraft Forums who deal with the hardware side of computers. This thread is a place to share your system's part lists, pictures of your system and setup, and anything else related to your technology! When posting information, it's recommended to include pictures in Spoiler tags, so as to reduce page length and loading times for members. If you're unsure of how to post a list of your system's components, read further down to find out about Speccy.
Posting Template
In order to make it easier for everyone to interpret what's going on here, it's recommend you utilize the part list tools supplied at PCPartPicker, which you can find here. Add your parts to the list, and export to BBCode utilizing the export function to the top right. If you don't wish current prices to be shown, edit them out.
Alternatively, you can use a template such as this:

Speccy
Unsure of your system's specs? Not a total geek who has them memorized by heart? Not to fear! There is a wonderful program called Speccy, which allows you to get an idea of what components are in your system. We encourage everyone to post a picture of the output from Speccy. In order to do so, just follow these instructions:
Download and Install the Speccy program. You can find the official download page at this link. Do note that you do NOT need to purchase the Professional version. Simply download the Free Version from the FileHippo or Piriform link. The FileHippo link will take you to another site, where you can click on the download button shown to the right. The Piriform link will take you to another site, whereupon the download will start immediately. Caution: Be very careful when downloading any software, even from trusted sources. Read carefully when looking for the correct Download button.
After installing Speccy, run the program. It will take a few moments to generate all of the information.
Take a screenshot of the program.
Open an image editing program, such as MS Paint, GIMP, or Paint.net.
Paste the saved screenshot in, and save the picture.
It is highly recommended to crop out personal information that may be in the picture, such as usernames.
Upload the saved image to any image hosting website, such as Imgur.
Add the image to your Minecraft Forums post!
If done correctly, you should have the following:
LOL if we run some benchmarks, our PCs would have almost the same scores (Because For example, In most CPU and GPU benchmarks, having a bigger SSD would not matter.) Except my graphics card will score a tiny bit higher. (I'm pretty sure)
My PC:
Because it's a CLC, and not a great one at that. I would not trust tiny narrow fittings and a pump that fits inside a CPU block, for a cooler that's expected to pump water through a foot and a half of tubing plus 240mm of rad space.
If you get the chance, I'd honestly suggest cutting open your tubing and fitting the ends to a separate aftermarket pump. Can't do much about the fittings as far as I'm aware, you'll just have to trust them not to burst.
Don't be so quick to judge. Maybe OP needs CPU performance much more than he needs GPU, which is why I asked him rather than just straight out saying "your build is unbalanced".

Retired StaffRun them in 1080p
Wouldn't it scale pretty badly since it isn't the native resolution?

Curse PremiumMost LCD's use filtering on the scaled image.
There is a 21:9 resolution for 1080p, but you might need a special monitor for it.
You're misunderstanding what 1080p means. Or even what 1440p means.
1080p means a progressive frame having 1080 horizontal lines of vertical resolution, meaning they are stacked vertically but containing horizontal depth.

why? Keeps My CPU under 60C under full load
GTX 960 is too under powered compared to 5820K
still runs cooler than yours, even with more than double a CPU TDP. http://prntscr.com/6j6y9t
Also, I would have a CLC than a ugly huge heatsink on my CPU. (exept some air coolers)
