Currently gathering parts for a PC build.

Here is what I am looking at. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/WpjMWZ

It is going to be a gaming machine. As soon as I can I will be bumping the memory to 64gb and possibly, within a year getting another video card.

I am curious to know if the x99 Deluxe is too much of a motherboard and the Sabertooth would be more my speed?

Not doing any video editing or what not.

Most would be gaming, meetups, and surfing at once.

ANy recommendations?

32GB is overkill for gaming, 64GB is double overkill, you really only need 16GB, a 4x4GB kit would serve you well. And save you money - if your intent is still to upgrade to 64GB in the future - because you can't really mix DDR4 kits so you'd have to sell your existing memory anyhow. Titan X cards (with their onboard 12GB) require 16GB or more main memory, any less slows them down. Heavy allocations in RAM Disks or SDD caches can fill up memory pretty quick - although you've chosen a performance SSD so you don't really need to allocate huge chunks of costly memory for extra performance gains. A second SSD in striped RAID would probably serve you better than another 32GB of DDR4, lol. (But, hey, if you really wanna buy some big DDR then send me a PM, lol.)
