sorry ima noob xD

PhysX doesn't appear in loads of games but when it does it adds something to the games. AMD doesn't offer PhysX.

- shows Borderlands 2

- showing Batman: Arkham Origins

... and many more other examples on YouTube

You can easily put together a system with 2 x GTX 770s and AMD or Intel cpu for well under $1700.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

I gave my suggestions for the motherboards, cpus and cooler related to AMD earlier. AMD FX 8320 is a really good buy and there are many value boards out there for $110 or so that are fully featured that work with that cpu. As for the cooler nothing wrong with going Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus or similar as you get low temps on air and you get it for a very affordable price of $30.

In regards to your video card purchase. If you got one high end card now would you be looking at buying another later? Any chance you would go that route? Also in terms of a display at what resolutions are you trying to play games at?

What resolution are you running? 1080p? 1440p? 4k? It makes a difference

Yet again it really depends what games you are specifically talking about, sure maybe older games but you don't usually need a stellar GPU for most older games anyhow. So 1 lower end card would suffice in those situations.

around 1440p to 4k

4k you won't do at this budget.

With two 780's, you'd have issues with pushing 4k, and that's 1000 minimum in GPUs.

 

1440p is Very doable.

I tried to add 2 780's, but I was sitting at 1800 dollars. Here's on 780 ti Classified from EVGA. A highly binned chip, running at an awesome overclock even at stock.
