Hi!

 

ON the forums I was able to cut costs and was able to opt for a Gtx 770.

However that was when I was afraid and not able to get a Z87 mobo, and a K skew


(Parts have changed in my old list, So just focus on the CPU and MOBO for this list)

 

Now! I am convinced that z87 and K skews are the way to go :


(Note: the VGA Card has been removed from the list as it is under discussion)

 

So is a 770 worth that extra 70 bucks or so...

Comprimise for the noise??

PLs don't directly say that 770 is better (State the facts),  as now I've moved to z87 build need to Keep it under 1200$

 

I will be playing these games (in order of most) : Minecraft, Warframe, Microsoft Sims, Dirt 3 etc

I will also be streaming, video editing and recording most of my gameplay

 

What do you guys think?

770 is better, you can sli it and will be amazing, run games max settings 7/10 of the time with some exceptions, and overall a great card

Edit: but with the games your playing, a 760 or even 750ti is fine.

The second build you gave us + a 770 ends up at almost $1200.So why not?It's in your budget.

770 is worth the extra 70$ hands down, if you can find it cheaper (NCIX was the cheapest last I remembered), The Asus 770 has been the most popular among the 770's along side the EVGA SC 770.

I don't know personally how much better they will do as I went from 2x GTX 690's to 2x Titan Blacks

770, graphics card is not cheap, you just can't easily upgrade them like coolers, fans, ram, psu etc when it is out of date. . So get the better one if possible.

Yes its worth the Extra few bucks. The 770 is a beast of a card and will last you way longer than a 760.

Ok the reference 770s blower design is just fine and actually regarded as quiet and satisfactorily cool running. Non reference open cooler is always better especially in that large case. However, those may be too expensive if you don't want to pay that much.

The 770 is quite a bit faster in games if you were to look at several benchmarks and tests. However, the 760 will be just fine for those games too.

Wow, such waste, very money... Seriously the dual 690's are faster why even bother. Because scaling is better?

No because its becoming dated quickly and I need he Double Floating Point Precision that the Titans Have over the GTX 690's. Plus the extra vram was needed for what I do.

Ah Ok. I never realised that so many people actually need it. I assumed Nvidia was just making profit off all the gamers that buy it for marginally better performance over the 780Ti and that justified keeping the option available for professionals.

Anyways what do you use it for?
