So I'm thinking about upgrading; in a big way

CUDA

We have a storage server already, I need local space.

Yea. Sad thing is that our distributor (who's I'd be buying from for workstation cards) only carries NVIDA. :(

Ah, I see. The feel free to ignore me

/facepalm. Why would you want to spend THAT much more of someone elses money for what probably won't benefit you that much?

because he can

You'd be surprised what government mandated budgets will do. I was TOLD to spend this, it's not my job to determine why we can only have so much reserve money.

Why?

Well why not just get normal hardware and a bunch of nice 4K IPS screens? That are preferably 32"+

Or ya know, donate some lesser PCs to a charity.

My current work rig is something similar, only difference is that it uses i7 920s. I don't have space for 3 32'' panels, and I don't need 4k. I use CUDA for acceleration, not gaming.

You could just run them in portrait mode

Never been a fan or portrait monitors, not to mention that's spending money with out need, 1440p is enough for what I'm doing.

Yeah something like this.

The rig you have planned may play minesweeper... MAYBE. This can play mines.

If you're using it for video work, why not grab one of Intel's 750 NVMe PCIe SSDs? 2400 MB/s read speeds would be pretty handy for a scratch disk. Or gaming. Or just running benchmarks on and gawking. Also, it looks like that motherboard only has 2 PCIe 3.0 slots, which puts a bit of a damper on that 3 way SLI.

Yep, noticed that. PCPP may have fucked up again. I'm going over it on the newegg side.
