Why would I get server hardware for a personal computer?

On my previous post I said games and game programming. I may be spoiling myself a little as well. Haha, and no, I won't be showing off on image boards. That's not something I do.
Because  its built to last and often outperforms regular hardware, since the budget allows it...
Wtf where you thinking with that signature? - Phage.

I'll look into it then, thanks.

I've got a final, silly question. From what I can see on the specification list my mb has WiFi capabilities built into it. Is this really true, or will I have to buy a wireless card as well?

Edit:
Also, there's different versions of the 780 ti. There's the MSI, EVGA superclocked, and a few others. Are there any particular ones I should look at or are they pretty much all the same thing?

Yep, it has a removable antenna that is connected to the mobo through 2 connectors in the back i/o panel. It's also magnetic, which is useful for keeping it on the case. Assuming you're talking about the Asus Z87-PRO.

Edit: picture of the antenna

Oh goody :D

The motherboard is overkill. I'd spend the money on something more useful instead of bells and whistles.
A discrete sound card is pretty much unnecessary unless you have a high-end audio setup.

I wouldn't get that mouse. Honestly, Razer seem to be more focused on marketing than making decent products. Lots of people also report quality issues with their products.
As for the mech. keyboard, same as above. I'd get a no-frills one instead of one of those gimmicky "gamer" boards.

Thanks! However, I've got my list put together pretty firmly and I know what I'm getting.

@Fur
I don't think too highly of Razer either. Seems way overpriced and unnecessary, who wants a ~2600 DPI mouse anyways? I was thinking of getting a mechanical keyboard though... Got a little bit more research to do I suppose.
