In the words of so many here, "Jesus Fucking Christ" is the first thing I have to say! It's so awesome to see everyone pumped up over the build. If I had known there would be so many comments, I'd have posted the pictures with some context, but I'll try and answer your questions now.
Are you posting more pictures?
Definitely! As soon as I get stuck into the meat of the build (this weekend maybe?) I'll take a few snaps during the build and the final result.
What are you going to do with this thing?
Play Minecraft on the lowest resolution possible with the particle effects and clouds turned off of course!
But seriously, there are several use cases intended for this rig, some personal, some work related:
Why four Titan X cards? Give 980 Ti some love!
Originally I considered two Titan X cards and two 980 Ti cards for this build, but that idea was discarded for a few reasons and considerations, some more logical than others:
For those asking about PALIT branded cards, they offer a reference design card for Titan X, which is fine, because most other vendors do the same. I will of course be dismantling the cards to add waterblocks to them, and possibly doing other crazy, potentially warranty-voiding overclocky things to them.
That Sandisk Ultra II..it's so peasantly compared to the 950 Pro.
I should have mentioned that I also have a 1TB 840 Evo that I'll be bringing over from my current workstation, which has a fairly negligible performance benefit over an 850 Evo and Pro in a practical setting.
The Ultra II was a Cyber Monday deal, much cheaper than an 850 Evo or Pro for reasonable performance and storage capacity, and more than enough for infrequent secondary storage.
De-ionized water, why not distilled?
I didn't list it in the pictures because it hasn't arrived yet, but I am expecting a delivery of distilled water tomorrow for filling the loop. The de-ionized water will be used to flush water blocks and radiators as it is a cheaper source of purified water to obtain here in the UK (unlike distilled water, which stores don't stock like in the US).
Biocide, coolant, anti-corrosives?
I have decided to start with distilled water and a couple of drops of Mayham's Biocide (a copper sulphate concentrate), and keep a close eye on the loop for the first few months to see how it works out, and introduce corrosion inhibitors if needed. I am fortunate that my loop mostly consists of copper, with brass and nickel plated/brass fittings, so at this point, my main concern would only be the tin/lead solder inside the radiators as being a potential corrosion hazard.
If anyone has information on corrosion inhibitor bases that can be added to water that don't contain a glycol mixture and dyes, and that are designed to protect copper/nickel/brass/tin/lead, I'd love to hear from you!
You better have awes-mazing monitors for that rig!
Baby steps...it has been five years since I built my last workstation, and everything will eventually have to be replaced, which includes five 21.5" 1080p 60Hz monitors. Replacing those is a financially crippling research project in itself, but for now, the tower is the first replacement to be dealt with.
Are you going to trick this thing out with LEDs, chrome rims and a sexy lady lounging over the case?
No, the tower isn't really all that visible in practice as it would be sitting behind a monitor (and not repositionable as the whole desk is covered in monitors!), so I did not intend on going crazy with lights, colored tubing and platinum case trim, instead directing the budget towards more practical components.
How much did the rig cost to build?
I'd better leave the number crunching to my rich daddy and his solid gold, diamond encrusted calculator.

A few TB of SSD?!
Yeah guys, those aren't the specification of the PC. For those wondering, this is what a cheap 1 TB SSD looks like, it's typically over £300. "A few" would imply 2 or 3 of these things. There's no way anyone would be crazy enough to make that computer just to play minecraft.
Unless you're recording in 4k or something like that.
I'll have a crack at this although I'll be making some dubious assumptions.
According to this news report from the BBC in 2013, the "largest study ever done into human sexuality" estimated that around 4% of websites are porn. So lets assume 4% of all data on the internet is porn.
In 2005, Eric Schmidt from google estimated that the size of the internet was around 5,000,000 Terabytes.
In 2005, according to this page. There were around 65,000,000 websites. And now there is around 700,000,000. An increase of ~10.8x. So with this I'm going to assume an estimate for the size of the internet today to be around 10.8 x 5,000,000 TB which is 54,000,000 TB.
If we use our estimate of 4% porn, that is 2,160,000 TB of Porn.
Using PC part picker, I found the cheapest HDD price/GB wise to be a 3TB HDD for $99.99. If you wanted to store all the porn on these, you would have to buy 720,000 of them at a cost of $71,992,800 (assuming each actually could hold the full 3TB).
If you wanted it all on SSDs, then you would need 2,160,000 of these which would cost you $982,778,400.
If anyone has any better estimates for this data let me know.
In stock at amazon as well for the same price if you're Prime.

Looks like Amazon is price matching, too:

They've actually been going down in price considerably.

for those curious
Amazon seems to have it for the same price?

Fantastic. Multiple options. I prefer to use money I had saved in Paypal.
Amazon makes it feel like a better deal! ;) lol

Hey, Guess what, for the price of one of those 256GB SD cards, you can grab a 1TB SSD here
$469 for a 1TB SSD I should get me one of those sometime soon.
Sure: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch-SATA-Internal-MZ-7TE1T0BW/dp/B00E3W16OU
Remember you must select Amazon as the seller! Drives avalible in this promotion (prices before cashback):
1TB drive @ £359.48
750GB drive @ £279.59
512GB @ £290.66
500GB drive @ £199.54
Edit: Note that cash back price depends on drive selected.
It's $350 on Amazon with prime fyi.
www.amazon.com/dp/B00E3W16OU/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_awbEub19QH078
1TB, only $450 USD.
I have one and I will never buy a platter again.
Edit: look at that ratings curve! 3% of the ratings are less than 4 stars.
Me too. Not because I want one, my 360 is fine since I dont play console games much anyways. I'd like to flip that tater and grab this bad boy
not going to argue about the tablet (much better IMO for reading on) as for the storage issue 1TB SSDs are a thing, and will fit in a chromebook.
What worries me most is how much more likely you are to damage a tablet than a laptop and how are you going to power it? I cant think of anything that would need more processing power for day to day living (doesn't mean there isn't anything). and 16 gigs of storage (stock in most chromebooks AFAIK) even if half of that is saved for the OS is a lot of books (even non-OCR PDFs)
Ultimately it will boil down to personal preference and use case, just books? i have a 1st gen nook that is nigh indestructible (ok i need to replace the eink, but that was deliberate.)
need some pictures and video, and maybe have some semi reliable infrastructure? tablet would be a better bet,
making your own infrastructure? that will be a laptop.
Edit: a few words.
TL;DR: depends on what you want it for

Hold me OP... Why must PCs be so much more expensive in the UK? :-/
If you are using a Wacom Tablet and don't actually need to be using the touchscreen on the laptop with your digitizer, you'd probably be best with an Acer Aspire V7, as you already like their keyboard, and it gets good battery life and is lightweight. It is 14" touchscreen though, rather than your preferred 13", but you can change the SSD out yourself.
It also comes with a dedicated Nvidia GT 750M graphics card that will easily allow you to play your games at good or higher settings.
If you got that, within budget you could easily add a Samsung 840 Evo yourself and stay within budget.
You won't really find a 13.3" matte display laptop, especially with an ethernet port and a high capacity SSD. Generally you need to add the big SSD's yourself. This creates a problem within the 13.3" laptop bracket, as a lot of them don't allow you to easily change the drives. It takes quite a tear down of the machine.
I currently use a Samsung 840 PRO SSD. They make a terabyte SSD for $420 USD.
However, there is currently a bug with the 840 EVO line which should be resolved on the 15th with a firmware patch.
I have a separate computer with 4 1TB HDDs as RAID (0 if my memory serves) drives. I plug the GoPros SD card into the computer and using ssh I copy all the media to the drives. I found its the best way to have it accessible at all times (you need a high speed connection).
Buy an SSD its very recommended as the speed is much faster than a HDD. I have this drive for my laptop. Also buy a hard drive case that way you can connect it to a computer.
Here's a 1TB SSD for € 350,-
It's probably a decent investment if you're doing editing regularly.
I'd point you towards a Samsung 840 EVO. Myself and about 8 of my co-workers bought them around the same time for our work laptops, and none of us has had a problem at all with them, and these are machines that are building code and generally in heavy use for 8 hours a day.
250 GB for $120 right now on Amazon.
The 970 is a fantastic value, but not worth upgrading to over the 780. A lot of games aren't optimized for SLI, but if you really need the extra power right now, I would get a second 780. No single game will require more than 8GB of RAM, although it can be handy to have for some other applications. If you've already filled all your slots, I wouldn't worry too much about it. An SSD is always a good idea. If nothing else, it'll decrease loading times for your games.
For a nice price/performance ratio, I would look at these:
256GB/512GB - Crucial MX100
1TB - Samsung 840 EVO
> .com
For .ca it is actually $574.99
http://www.amazon.ca/Samsung-Electronics-EVO-Series-2-5-Inch-MZ-7TE1T0BW/dp/B00E3W16OU
AND amazon doesn't even have the best price.

Don't worry!

I've been considering buying a Samsung SSD. Any drawbacks from getting a hard drive from them?
Usually over $400, it looks like: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E3W16OU?ie=UTF8&at=&force-full-site=1&ref_=aw_bottom_links
Is this ssd fast? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00E3W16OU?pc_redir=1406625622&robot_redir=1
If you don't think 5.7 pounds is too heavy, then the ASUS N550JK-DS71T would be able to do everything you need. It has a quad core i7 4700HQ processor, 8GB ram, 1TB HDD, 1920x1080 IPS 15.6" touchscreen, GTX 850M GPU and an optical drive. It has all the ports except a VGA, opting instead for a mini-displayPort. You could replace the HDD with a large SSD like the 1TB Samsung 840 EVO and still be within budget.
Alternatively, the MSI GS60 Ghost-003 would provide a bit better gaming performance than the above, due to its GTX 860M GPU (though it uses the Kepler architecture). The Ghost really shines due to its portability at only 4 pounds.
I like this idea, but can't justify buying more than one of these right now. http://www.amazon.ca/Samsung-Internal-Solid-State-2-5-Inch/dp/B00E3W16OU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1427522722&sr=8-3&keywords=ssd+1tb+samsung
Even if I can find a better price, which I know I can.
Good to know that the GTX 680 would be a better fit. My tech guy was looking into it and told me the 7970 has a different number of pins.
1TB SSD on Amazon
2TB SSD on Amazon
10TB PCI-e
I currently have this SSD installed as my main OS drive. Should I upgrade to this one, or will I not see enough of a performance boost to be worth the $100?
One Terabyte Solid State Drive
PlayStation Plus
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch-SATA-Internal-MZ-7TE1T0BW/dp/B00E3W16OU/
That's the best 1tb ssd i know of if that's what you're asking.
Why is there such a big price difference in SSDs? Is there a big enough difference between these two to make up for the cost?
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch-SATA-Internal-MZ-7TE1T0BW/dp/B00E3W16OU?ref_=nav_ya_signin&
Well with the ones I have on the list, this 1 TB SATA 2.5inch SSD would suffice right? How would I check if it's compatible? With the SATA I could always just add an additional drive down the line if I really needed it I suppose.
Thank you! Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like I'd be able to upgrade to the SSD linked below, right?
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch-SATA-Internal-MZ-7TE1T0BW/dp/B00E3W16OU
I think it's best for me to get the $980 version with a still very capable 1TB 7200RPM HDD to get me started and then perhaps consider the 500GB+ SSD upgrade at a later date. What do you think?
Have them price match Amazon and get it for $325
I'd probably go with the Samsung 840 1 TB
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-EVO-Series-2-5-Inch-MZ-7TE1T0BW/dp/B00E3W16OU
Edit: The other part of your question. To handle migrating OS X to the new SSD, I'd probably use Carbon Copy Cloner. To migrate Windows, I'd use Winclone.
add an SSD https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-2-5-inch-Basic-Solid-State/dp/B00E3W16OU it's not that expensive
:)
I have bought a couple of the Samsung EVO SSDs on Amazon, you can find them here. Reviews are very good on this model.
Also this
If you want to add a 1TB SSD drive to this, you would still be under your budget. Here's one from Amazon that is $450 on sale right now:

The 512 GB is $50 less, but might as well get double for that small amount.
Note: I didn't check any other sites, it might be cheaper elsewhere.
As far as I know there's no size limitation, but those MacBooks took SATA I drives, so theres no point in buying a SATA II or III drive - you can probably find a sizable SATA I drive online for cheap. If you can't, SATA II or III will work, you just won't be able to take advantage of the higher speeds.
Also, you should consider putting in an SSD. The speeds will make your laptop feel new again, and Amazon has some pretty big discounts right now, like this 500 GB drive, or this 1 TB drive.
That's actually expensive even for an SSD. The 1TB 840 EVO is actually much cheaper than $600.

That is a SSHD. A 2TB SSD would cost over $1000.
That is the cost of a 1TB SSD. Would be a horrible decision as you can just buy a 2nd xbox at this price

> Their hardware is priced pretty comparably to similar spec’d hardware.
https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/imac/27-inch-3.5ghz-1tb
That's why it costs an extra $600 to upgrade to 32GB of RAM despite the fact that buying equivalent RAM from Amazon is less than $300, right? Also, that's an extra $600. So add onto that whatever part of the base cost Apple was charging for the 8GB of RAM and that's what the RAM is costing you. So probably around $7-800 for 32GB of RAM.
It comes with a 1TB Hybrid Drive. Want to make that a 1TB SSD? That's an extra $700 and you don't still get the 1TB Hybrid Drive, so they're again really charging more like $8-900 if not $1000 or more for it when you can buy a high quality 1TB SSD for $330 from Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-2-5-Inch-Internal-MZ-7TE1T0BW/dp/B00E3W16OU
Their hardware costs are totally comparable to similar hardware. Mostly in that when you compare them you get shocked at how overpriced the Apple hardware is.
I bought this. No regrets.
1tb ssd's don't even cost $500, but nice try

Which is the logical and obvious endgame as developed by Capcom. Everything else you described is possible during the story phase of the game, which falls outside of the bounds you set.
In regards to the rest of your post, World is a huge step down in terms of content compared to past games. Doesn't matter what other series offer because this is not from those companies or franchises.
