PC Name: THOR CPU: i7 4771 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116941) GPU: AMD (XFX) R9 390 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZFNC8ES?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s02) RAM: 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance (DDR3) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233299)
  2. Here is the link to that particular case. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147053 I'm pretty sure there is a newer version but I am very happy with m current case. A little. I did some temp monitoring for about 2 weeks and decided that yes, there would be a benefit, but I assigned a Low priority to it. It may be time to reevaluate though. CPUL i7-4771 I am not. I'm hoping that whatever card I choose will have enough horsepower that I won't need to. In 3 or 4 more years, I'll upgrade and pass my old card to another machine. I'm pretty sure my wife would divorce me if I spent $600 on a video card (even if it is a boss card)
  3. I have been enjoying my XFX Radeon HD 6870 for about 3.5 years now. It works very well but it is getting around time to upgrade. I'd like to have 4GB or more of GDDR5. I'm planning on spending $300-$350 (yay Tax Returns!) on a new card. I have used mostly AMD (usually XFX branded) GPUs and have been very happy. I have had friends and family that have had problems with their NVidia GPUs before. (granted those were mostly pretty cheap cards) I am leaning towards an AMD (XFX branded) but am not completely against the idea of going with a NVidia card if there will be better performance. My Current Rig: Processor: i7-4771 CPU (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116941) RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233299) Video Card: XFX Radeon HD 6870 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150521) Power Supply: Corsair CX750 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139040) Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131989) 240 GB Boot SSD 1TB Storage SSD​ GPU size shouldn't be an issue thanks to my monster case (THOR by Rosewill) I have three 23 inch 1920*1080 monitors. I only have DVI-D and VGA inputs. I tend to only use the middle once for gaming. I would like the card to have enough horsepower to be able to run all three cards in eyeFinity (and whatever NVidia's equivalent technology is). I usually use softTH (http://softth.net/) because I can choose to use it on a per game basis. I've attached a picture of the inside of my case for size reference. Sorry for the potato picture quality. Please let me know what your opinions are. Let me know if you guys have any more questions. --Cody
