Now that the 980 Ti is coming out, which config is better? A single 980 Ti is estimated to be $650~, while dual 970 would cost almost the same ($330 x 2 = $660). Give me some arguments other than 1) Single higher tier GPU > Dual lower tier GPU; and 2) SLI has more power consumption. Thanks!

If I have an external DAC/AMP combo already, should I get a passive speaker? From what I have researched, active speakers are better than passive speakers. "Active monitors have their amplifiers built in. This presents a few benefits, such as not having to deal with extra rack gear and knowing that the internal amplifier is specifically matched to that speaker for the best sonic performance." [http://www.sweetwater.com/insync/studio-monitors-buying-guide/#active_passive] However, if i buy an active speaker instead, and at the same time I want to avoid plugging it directly into my motherboard's onboard soundcard, is it OK to plug it into the external DAC/AMP combo? Will the amplifier from the DAC/AMP combo + amplifier from the active speakers have an effect on the quality of the sound?

Just wanted to know why did Linus go with a Z97-C at $130 in the "Value Gaming Build Guide" [http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/281756-ultimate-value-gaming-build-guide/] and yet he went with a Z87-A at $90 in the "Game On ~$1700 System Holiday Buyer's Guide" [http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/250410-holiday-2014-buyers-guide-full-component-list/]. I've checked both at Asus' website and they have very, very similar specs. Z97-C [http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z97C/specifications/] Z87-A [http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z87A/specifications/] My confusion here is that Linus went with a relatively more expensive Motherboard in a Value build, but he chose a relatively cheaper Motherboard in a ~$1700 Build. Am I overlooking some relevant difference between the two Motherboards that I didn't notice?

Holiday 2014 Buyer's Guide - Full Component List

Is it really necessary for the "Game On" to go with dual GTX 970? If I were to go with a single GTX 970, will the extra saving I get worth the decrease in performance? -
can you add in the FAQ the difference between monitor headphones, reference headphones and Hi-Fi headphones? These terms are used all over the place and it can be quite confusing for people trying to buy a good pair of headphones.

Sennheiser OCX 686G or the JayBird BlueBuds X?

Will a i5-4690k bottleneck two 4K display?
d4rkwizo posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
I plan on getting two 4K monitors. One of which will be used for gaming. Linus went with a 4690k for the $2000-ish rig on the Holiday Buyer's Guide 2014. He said it was the best option if it was mostly used for gaming, which I am. [ However, Linus went with a i7-4930k for the ULTIMATE 4K Gaming PC Build Guide. [ Also, Linus went with a FX-6350 for the 4K Gaming PC for Under $1000. [https://youtu.be/j4xDfEOGONw?t=2m37s] Again, I am NOT planning on gaming on both 4K monitors (that will be weird anyways to have a black frame in the middle). I am only gaming on ONE of them. The reason why I want 2 4K monitors is that I will like to be able to enjoy things outside of gaming(such as web browsing, social media, etc) in 4K resolution AND in both monitors. I feel like the FX-6350 will bottleneck TWO 4K monitors, while the i7-4930k is a little bit too much for my budget. Thus leading to my conclusion that the i5-4690k would be the sweet spot for my purpose: enjoy contents in two 4K monitors, and heavy gaming on one of them. Please feel free to correct my conclusion. -
Recommended GPU for a triple surround 1080p monitor setup
d4rkwizo replied to d4rkwizo's topic in Graphics Cards
Which GPU would you guys recommend me getting? Also, would I have to upgrade my PSU for higher watts? -
Hi guys, I currently have dual 1080p monitor setup. My specs are FX-6300 OC @3.7GHz, M5A97 R2.0, 1 x Vengeance 8GB RAM, ASUS GTX 750Ti @stock clock speed, and a CX600. I was wondering if my current specs are powerful enough to get a third 1080p monitor and then use NVIDIA's Surround PhysX for the surround setup.
