This is really just a test to make sure I'm not missing anything. The processor and mobo are likely going to be replaced with a Haswell unit, and the GTX 680s are placeholders for GTX 770s once they start becoming available on PCPP.

One big question: Will I see saturation of the PCI-E 3.0 bus with two GTX 770s running in SLI, assuming a full load down the road of 5760x1200? I'd rather not shell out for an X79 mobo and an i7, since they cost an absurd amount here in Canada. We're talking an extra $300 on my build.

Some prices are $0. These are parts I already have and will be repurposing for this build.

Any feedback is appreciated! Let me know what I did wrong! :D
