budget?

uses?

Budget is around 2100$ after taxes and shipping currently I am at 2060$ with taxes/shipping. Unless there is an argument made for that extra 100$ to towards another part ill stick with my i7.

 

Uses will be for 1080p gaming now looking into 1440p gaming in the future, stream, minor video editing recording. Also ill be going to 16gbs of ram in the future aswell

my original plan was to go with two 290s but after talking it through with some others before coming here I feel like a single 780ti for now and another down the road will work better...+ I am kind of digging the nvidia shield.
