So i have a new machine built right now.  Corsair 1200i power supply,  i7-4790K, Asus Maximus Extreme VI, Corsair dominator Platinum 16GB (soon to be 32) at 2133MHz, 1 Samsung 840 Pro series 120GB SSD and 1 2T1B WD Black drive.  Right now i have an old Asus 660ti and its not running that well right now.  its i think around 4 years old.  I plan on getting a couple more SSD's, and 2 More HDD's (WD Green).  I also plan on watercooling this beast as well. 

 

So my question is, what card to get.  i am a nvidia fanboy.  im I have 4 cards in mind:  GeForce GTX 780(ti) 6GB Superclocked, Titan Black Superclocked 6GB, or the new GTX 880 (when its supposed to come out this November). 

 

Money is and isn't an issue for this card.  this machine is going to last me quite awhile but if i could save some money on a Videocard and go with the 780 Superclocked that would be great. 

 

just saying the money issue because i have some expenses in the next few months (2 tattoo's, mexico trip and a pittsburgh penguins game)

Are you sure you can't go AMD? Because the 290(x) s a great option.

Flyers fan here. Your best bet will be a GT210.  :P  :P

 

But seriously, a 780ti or titan black. Also, the 660ti was released just under years ago. So it can't be 4 years old, but that is besides the point.

Honestly, if you are remotely thinking the Titan Black, wait for the 880. Essentially the 880 will be what the 780/ti is to the old Titan. Barely less powerful for gaming and general use, and much cheaper.

 

Then just get two. :)

 

Unless you need the raw computational aspect of the titan, then, get the titan.
