Pwr sup seem sufficient (especially w/ just one Vid Card).
I do not remember seeing any annotation of 'SSD' in the breakdown.
My humble recommendation would be an SSD for your O/S and ESO game (of course for faster response and boot-up) and a HDD for ancillary use.

Aww man, I like that noise reduction thing there Blass...I have to see if I can incorporate those mounts in my existing set-up or just buy new fans.
My Cooler Master is nice and cool but a bit noisy at times, especially at startups or intense gaming.

Mine isn't as good as his but has the same look in graphics. He has all the details though.
The 256GB SANDISK is an SSD. I have an SSD in my current rig and will never go back to a standard hard drive except as storage.
Was also thinking 32 gigs of ram with two GTX TITANs but that would add a lot more $$$.
Hi Willard! What monitor/resolution will you be driving with those two Titans? I ask as it is way overkill for a 1080P from a TV of standard monitor. You'd want to be driving a 4K display with that much power or it would simply be more power than games can currently make use of.
I'm not as big of a fan of SLI esp on non-X99 platforms as you have fewer PCIE lanes available. If you are driving one 1080P HD monitor or TV, I'd cut it down to one Titan as it should be fine, but if you really want two cards, go for it! You may want to focus on a larger SSD like a 480 or 512, as ESO will take up a good bit of space on it alone. Samsung and Intel SSD's are the ones I recommend. That is more important than RAM as the RAM is easier to upgrade after it is operational.
Thanks...I agree two Titans would be over kill I run 2 1080p HD monitors one 27 in and one 23. What I really want is a computer that will not bog down when we are fighting with huge groups of people in game.
I actually had the pleasure to build a system with 2 SLI Titan X's for a friend. Cost him about $5000 because of his impatience and buying everything in-store. That sucker screams though @ 4K!
I would suggest checking out the GTX 980 Ti SC+. It performs the same and in some cases exceeds the performance of the Titan X for hundreds $ less. It just has less memory (6GB). I just bought this card as my birthday gift to myself last week. I run 5760x1080 (triple monitors). I haven't had the chance to test it out during PvP or AvA yet. That will be the true test.
The 256GB SANDISK is an SSD. I have an SSD in my current rig and will never go back to a standard hard drive except as storage.

I really don't think that 32 GB of RAM is going to do you any good. Windows does not know how to use that much RAM (at least Windows 7 didn't...not sure about Windows 10) so you would be spending a lot of money and not getting any return on it. I have 16GB in my rig and have never had any problems with it at all.
I have not stayed current on Video Card tech, so I cannot talk to the dual video card pairing options.
"Ours is not to reason why, Ours is but to do and die"
16 GB of RAM should be plenty when paired with an SSD. With a HD, the 32 GB can be useful for disk caching I would assume. But many games and apps are still 32 bit and can only use up to 4 GB of RAM.
The perfectly adequate computer I built in June that runs the game just fine on mostly Ultra and didn’t cost an arm and a leg. I also don’t have the high end computer blues.

From Amazon:
- Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E500B/AM)

Gostav here. This looks like good system, but it lacks DAP (data access performance). There's just no way I would spend that much money and run that kind of hard drive. A PCI-e internal (slot) SSD drive is more than a good idea here. This is a good example http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104545
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4H81E87765
It's not as much how much money you spend as it is what you buy.
The internal slot SSD uses a direct connection to the system data bus eliminating the bottleneck of a SATA controller and in many cases is three times as fast as a SSD using a SATA data stream connection.
One of the major bottlenecks in modern PC's continues to be getting the data that needs processed to the CPU and RAM and such. Look at the numbers on the above card and compare to the listed drive. Yes, it makes THAT much of a difference. I'm talking measuring load times in fractions of seconds to seconds. Imagine an ESO load screen up in the blink of an eye. I'm not kidding here. Don't spend money on old tech.
Another note: A good clean single rail power supply should be used. Corsair is not in my opinion a good choice for a manufacturer of any components in a PC. Their reputation in DOA sales and returns and my experience keeps me away from them. Even for a case. A PS is more critical than many think as the system depends on it for clean available power. Today's GPU's require a large amount of clean, reliable power. There's no such thing as overkilling a power supply. Honestly, Corsair is a poor choice. Period.
Other notes: Unless you really get into overclocking, liquid cooling is NOT NEEDED at all. It looks cool, but it raises overall cost, maintenance and failure opportunities. If you don't plan on OCing, save the money, power consumption and moving parts. BTW, a good build always has the power supply in the top of the case. The PS fan in that position assists in heat exhaust without additional power requirements or moving parts. On gaming systems, the RAM capacity of the motherboard should be maxed out. RAM is the PC "chalkboard". Give it a nice big one. For god's sake man, don't buy Corsair RAM. OMG The beauty of a build PC is you tailor it to your use/ needs. Spend money where it is needed. An impressive light show doesn't load screens faster. An older 6 core Intel I7 Extreme with a touch of OC will still outperform the newest I7's in the right configuration. Pick your components carefully. You could save a lot of money.
OK, I'm rambling a bit: Don't forget to spend money on a monitor (not TV) that can display all those fancy graphics. All that high powered hardware going into an inferior monitor is a crime. Look to spend $1,000 on a 30" monitor. Trust me here. It's worth it.

:: shrugs ::
I can't remember ever being so pleased by a power supply. This thing is pretty nice and the RoG software does a fine job managing it. I like it better than some of the sillier ones I've owned previously.
Also, I *did* posit my pile of parts as an affordable alternative to some of the top end stuff on display :) My only contributing point was that you can play this game on ultra without going berserk.
