Picking out a GPU

[Donzilla]

Hey guys i'm in the process of building a computer right now I'm just trying to narrow down the GPU i want to use i have a few in mind but wanted to get some more knowledge / opinions on them.

Here is what i have so far

Motherboard -  MSI Z87 XPOWER

CPU - Intel i7 4770k

Ram - G.Skill Sniper series 16gb

 

 

the cards i have been looking at is the GTX 690 / GTX 780ti also the titan and GTX 790 might be an option as well looking for your input

 

with this said I'm going to use the computer for video editing and gaming money really isn't a problem but at the same time i want to get my moneys worth.

 

 

Thanks guys any help / tips are helpful!

two 780 cards is your best bet. 780 ti doesn't have the best bang for the buck. If you're not used to high end video editing, you could just get 1 780 and see how it goes and get a second if it's not sufficient.

dont bother getting a titan, 780ti is a good bet is money isn't a problem

[Paralectic]

780, and maybe a second one in the future?

[TheNinjaNextDor]

780 or 780ti

NOOOOOOO! SLI is a piece of shiiiit.

I guess i should say this, i would like the best single card to run right now but i know in the future i can always purchase another for sli.... also is there any reason why not to go with the GTX 690 from what i have seen it performs really well i know this is a dual GPU card and has the older chipset but i was looking for some reasons why or why not to get these cards.

 

Thanks for the input so far guys!

780 best bang for your buck right now out of your choices especially with amd cards prices skyrocketing, and if you do decide to sli in the future, it will deliver great results.

780 ti bang for the buck sucks. Seriously. And the 690 is the same exact thing as doing 770s in SLI. It's just not worth it unless you have no space and are doing an itx build. 

[VGuillV]

Two 770s? 

 

Or is that too weak... 

 

I would think it'd offer a great bang for the buck...

But the 690 is a lot quieter than 2x 770's in SLI

not necessarily. Many 770s are extremely quiet due to the aftermarket cooler. The MSI one for example is virtually silent even at load. 

[JohnnyChan]

I would go with the 780.
