One possible future change would be to switch to the 2011 socket motherboard which would mean new board and cpu (probably memory as well). I have considered an Xeon, Corsair Platinum and the Asus Rampage IV Extreme Black Edition as viable replacements. Would like some opinions.

Hard find those Evga sli bridges, your right it should but once i installed it i didn't want to reposition it.
This is only used for gaming so any upgrades are for the improvements to gaming i would gain.

I managed to find the bridge off eBay however the first one i found was the wrong size. I have included a shot of the system when it was first built, I do apologise for the state it was in before i came to my senses.

I will add some external shots of the whole set up once the new desk is in place before the weekend.

The pre-braided were expensive but i feel are worth it, i think your right on routing the gpu cable round the back as well. I'll give that a go tonight and do a picture update tomorrow.

That annoyed me that i had to buy it separate, additionally i had to buy an extension for the supplemental motherboard power cable.

There are 2 Titans, one Asus AC wifi card and the Creative Sound card. What are you seeing?

01davie · 22 Apr 2014 at 18:59

Quick new set of images, thanks Bosh for the advice I've moved the cable.

01davie · 22 Apr 2014 at 19:43

Yes it does and i could swap them if i wanted so thats another possibility

The PSU can be either all fans are set to draw air from the from and push it out via the back so there's constant air flow, the power supply can be either I thought.

Was a interesting point someone mentioned to me, when i first thought the build it had two GTX 690 card's and when I finally finished the build it changed to two Titan's. I think the 780ti, Titan and Titan Black are all good cards for dual Sli

I prefer single GPU cards to duals and two Titans perform better by my research
