I am a graphic designer through and through, consider myself as an intermediate as I have 5 years of experience. I do play games once in a while (Battlefield), I do care about graphics obviously. Im in the process of bulding my second computer, I want something with speed and performance and also quietness. This is what I have so far, I don't want the best, I just want something that will get the job done and look good.

I see you choose Corsair SP120...I assume you're gonna use them for airflow.


The SP series (not sure, do some research) are optimized for pressure, not airflow.


If you're want fans from Corsair for air flow (case intake and exaust) you're gonna do much better with Corsair AF series.


 


A review Linus did a while ago:


 


SP series:


  


AF series:


  


 


I repeat, I'm not sure, do some research.


Hope that helps  :D

I would vote against two 760's. Maybe a single 780/780ti?

 

E: You said you want silence and I think a single GPU is quieter than 2

Whats your budget, and location?

 

SLI creates a lot of heat and can add some complication over a single larger GPU. Its an option but you should be aware of the potential trade offs before wiping out the credit cards.

 

Unless you are really really set on multicolor ram, I would use a single 2x8gb kit instead of 4x4gb.

I second this suggestion, if it fits within your budget of course. If you got a deal on the two 760s, then buy them; otherwise get a single GPU. Maybe one with a good aftermarket cooler? Have you considered AMD graphics, too? Mantle and FreeSync are pretty cool...  ^_^

I would like to move to AMD Graphics but I don't want to put my gtx 760 to waste, if I could sell it I would but Might as well get a second one and save some money and still get better performance.
