    Give me a budget, and what you would want to do with it. Just doing this out of boredom. It's cold as **** outside.

    Why SLI 2 mid-ranged GPUs together when they would scale badly? At the moment, some retailers have the gtx 680 on sale for the same price as 2x 650 ti boost (2x 650ti boost in terms of performance are equal to that of a gtx 680's performance). Also, the 650ti boost has a smaller memory interface of 192 bit as opposed to 256 bit which means the AA performance would be inferior to that of a gtx 680.

    Wow that was bad.... You'd either go Titan or 5XX (better for CUDA) on the GPUs and if you used 2, X79 because of the extra PCI lanes. You spent way too much on silly components like the case for a build that's going to be needing more out of other components.
