Hey Iggy,
In this machine, which is actually an older gaming PC from a few years ago - an i7 2600K, 32 GB RAM, nVidia 590. My main gaming machine has a 4930K oc'ed a wee bit, 32 GB RAM, and 2 Titan cards. Original Titan cards, not the new Titan Black. Both run SSD's, this machine having a 240 GB OCZ for the boot drive and a standard SATA 1 TB drive for media, and the other more powerful machine has a 1 TB Samsung SSD solely. Those drives were on sale recently for $460 so I had to snap one up, been real happy with it thus far.
The 4930 runs a bit hot for my tastes and I should have water cooled it from the start, but the Zalman cooler I have on it keeps it within range.
Nice cpu, but I don't understand why you are not water cooling.
At 130 watts, those do run hot, AND they are expensive.
Better cooling would increase the lifespan of the processor.
And, since you've spent a lot of money, an extra $100 or so seems like a minor outlay.
Also for less threaded tasks, the 4.8 GHz i5 might give you a run for your money at a fraction of the price.
Personally I would have forgone the SSDs and set up 4 disk RAID arrays (I don't trust storage media).
