  1. I realize I won't be and "kinda" knew that from the beginning I just wanted a card that will be more capable of powering the monitors than my current 6870. Anything will be an upgrade I believe
  2. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1041?vs=1037 There really is no definitive winner. I don't really I have a preference for AMD or nVidia, so should I just get the cheaper one or what? They don't even make a card that has 16GB vRAM (not consumer based atleast) ; I just want some more RAM because of the amount of multi-tasking I do
  3. Hey guys, I have been wondering what to upgrade for awhile, I believe I need a GPU upgrade. It plays modern games at 1080p on medium / high but would like a new graphics card that is capable of pushing the 3 monitors in front of me. My specs are the sig. My CPU is OC'ed and no problems there, I also would like to upgrade to 16GB of RAM when the prices drop. However, the main issue still occurs: I can't run games as well as I would like to. So I guess this thread is more of a "what graphics card should I get" type thread. My budget isn't definitive, however, I would like to keep it under $350 US. Thanks!
  4. Awesome build! I can't wait till I am able to do something like this
  5. The K95 will be the current K95 but with the RGB lighting.
  6. I would get an SSD, one of the bets upgrades you can make to a PC. Otherwise, save up for a GPU
  7. I hope to never let my keyboard get that dirty
  8. Agreed, but alot of the times people buy a bigger PSU to SLI/Crossfire later. I like your analogy btw
  9. You could probably get away with a 600 watt PSU. However, with a build like that, you should buy a 750 watt so you have plenty of overhead, and the ability to SLI later if you choose. I personally would recommend either of these: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Series-80PLUS-Gold-Certified-Supply/dp/B00EB7UITQ/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1392771957&sr=8-7&keywords=corsair+psu http://www.amazon.com/XFX-Edition-Modular-Certified-P1750BBEFX/dp/B00B88Z314/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1392772193&sr=8-2&keywords=xfx+power+supply
  10. Nice rig! One of the best I've seen on the forums, can't wait to have a build like this.
  11. That chart seems wrong lol. In my experience, BF4 with my HDD took around 2 min, and with my SSD it takes like 10 seconds. That's just my experience though.
