Are you going to be running a desktop on this machine? That is, will
you hook it up to a monitor and use the machine or will you always be
logging in remotely?
If you plan on using this machine as a desktop with a monitor, then I
highly suggest you get a cheap video card to hook the display onto so
that the TITAN can be used entirely for calculations. Alternatively, if
your budget includes room for another TITAN (or multiple), I would
suggest cramming as many video cards into the machine as possible,
provided you have sufficient cooling and power. ;) (It's a lot cheaper
to get 2 TITANs in the same machine than to build 2 machines each with
their own TITAN).
Just my 2c,
Jason
