Posted June 23, 2014 I've been planning a build for some time (It will be a gift from my father, hooray) and I thought I had the build pretty much set, but there's been a bit of a delay on the financial part and I've had some time to really think over the build. I'm now set on everything but the graphics option. I was hoping you guys could give me some insight (please without being green/red biased!) on what graphics option I should go for. I'll be running a Corsair AX1200i so power consumption doesn't -technically- matter because that could easily handle any of those options. Also, if you feel like being specific, possibly suggest a brand/model? I'm partial towards Asus slightly, but there's also MSI, EVGA, Gigabyte, etc. As far as setup I'll have three 24 inch monitors at 1920x1200 Resolution. As much as I want to, not quite going 4K *just* yet. What would you guys suggest (strictly) within these options: Dual R9 290X's Dual GTX 780 Ti's Single R9 295X Single GTX Titan Please note: please consider price:performance, reliability, binning, heat output, the fact that I really like the colour green and will be adding green LED's & fans to the case. The rest of the build(All decided on, just for reference): Case: Corsair 760T MB: Asus Sabertooth Z97 M1 CPU: 4770K RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance PSU: Corsair AX1200i CPU Cooling: Corsair H105 Case Cooling: CM Sickle Flow Green LED Storage: Samsung 840 Evo 500GB SSD Storage: WD 3TB Caviar Green note: If you look at my current build on my profile, you'll realize how legitimately excited I am for such a huge upgrade!

Posted June 23, 2014 I would go for dual 290 without X. About the build: AX1200i is a total overkill, something like RM850 would be completely enough. Don't buy 4770K, wait for Devil Canyon 4690K. WD Green drives are really bad, for games go for WD Blue or Seagate Barracuda. Of course it's your business what you do with your SSD, but I can tell you that a 500GB would probably be enough for Windows & Games, or you can take a smaller one just for the OS and a few games. It will be an awesome build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
