hi guys, i'm not sure if i should upgrade my Pc. i'm thinking that i might buy a new gpu ( another 780ti for sli), cuz i might get a 4k display in 2 months or so. if i would buy a new gpu i would need a new psu and a new case and i'm not sure if all of that would be worth it.and a friend of mine always tells me to build a water cooling rig:P so i guess 600€ for the gpu 150€ for the psu ~200€ for the case ( like the Phanteks Enthoo Primo ) and maybe 400€ for the water cooling? =1350€ :o as u ll see i ve 2 fHD screens and a 2,5k at the moment, so i would replace one or both fHD screens with a 4k one=> need a better gpu/ sli:(

and i now i already have an amazing pc but i guess if u had a good pc u always wanna have the best possible pc haha

 

so should i guy a second gpu and/ or should i build a watercooling rig? i love to overclock my gear, but i already have a quiet air cooling system:S

Nothing, I would wait till 4k is more standard nice build mate!

Maybe a really good mechanical keyboard or nice headphones or a nicer case.

Nothing, wait a year then buy 4K.

well i already had a 24" UHD screen for a weekend and it blasted me away:O 4k is just amazing! i also have someone in the family who works for a display manufactor, so i would get the screen(32") much cheaper about half the price.

if you have money to spend, i would advise to get an 850/1000 watts PSU, to be ready to add 2nd gpu whenever you save some money or find nice 2nd hand for cheap.

Wait until 4k comes down in price even more and then sli and get a monitor. Water cooling would be nice in that build though, however it is not essential.
