Just made a similar upgrade to my rig. Out with 670, but I only went with the 1070 for now. Still waiting to get my full waterblock for the 1070.
Old - 670 (short pcb so I could actually run a south bridge block even though it wasn't really needed)
New - 1070 (much longer PCB so had to ditch the south bridge block and it still barely fits)

Just picked up a new 1070 to drop into my Haswell unit. Going to make the switch from Win7 to Win10 as well. Hoping to max out my 1440p monitor.
3 Titan X's huh...nice budget build you put together for yourself there LOL. Looks like a hell of a setup.
I am. MSI Z170A Gaming M5 with a 6700k. Running it at 4.6GHz. Im also running a EVGA Founders GTX 1080. Define S window case, Samsung 500gb M.2 ssd, RM750 psu, H100i GTX.
yea i got them pretty cheap so it worked out well. I had 3 980Tis before but they couldnt really hang in 4K gaming.
Wow sick setup. My guess is you work from your pc?
I haven't built a PC in about 9 years so it's time for a new one. I certainly want to future proof this one as much as I can. The last one I built is still running great today, just outdated now. I occasionally play iRacing, WarThunder and soon DCS. But mostly just alot of Photoshop and Premiere CC:

while that is a decent setup, it is a generation (almost 2) old. Skylake launched over a year ago. However, I understand people have budgets, and a 4790k will give a 6700 a run for its money. That being said, if you do any serious video work, consider a 5820k and overclock it slightly. Those extra 2 cores will make a big difference for certain cpu intensive video renders.
My situation is I have a $5,000 credits to ONE gaming PC company (long story). So I am trying to piece together the computer to get to that $5k mark on their website. I think that this older stuff is the best they have.
are you able to list the company? I could try to spec something for you.
Love my 5820k, they usually overclock well also, stock speed is 3.3ghz and most people can hit 4.2-4.4. My chip is a good chip, currently at 4.625 at 1.32v
Should of went with three Titan Zs...
The Tesla K80s are nice too.
lol 6 gpu setup huh
Nah, what you have is going to be good for the next 5 years easy. Very Very nice setup. I'm jelly.
What is a realistic budget for someone looking to build a rig that can handle modern AAA titles at max settings on a single 60Hz 1080P monitor? Looking to build my first computer and those are my requirements.
Just the PC itself, probably 6-700. Add nice monitor or bigger SSD's and it gets more expensive.
Wow, much cheaper than the ~$1K I was budgeting for!
Now, who wants to help a total newb assemble the parts list?
