I have estimated it to be ~$1500 for an X99 upgrade platform. But I'm not going there,not needed for gaming.

Forgive me El Guapo. I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education...

Unless if you're doing hardcore rendering then I don't really see the need. The ones we have are are great for demanding games. Like the 4770k or just plain 8 gigs of DDR3.

Funny everyone keeps saying this...I never said it was for gaming....its for severe multi-tasking while rendering about 8 videos at once.

Why is everyone saying 3000 dollars plus? Its only 1700 to upgrade to X99, so its a 1,300 dollar gpu?

Well if you're upgrading for video rendering and the like, then it's probably assumed you're getting a titan or a quadro.

That'll easily set you back $1300.

I was thinking more along of the new GTX 880 when it gets released as it will have 8GB of memory.

It feels as though no games ever leave the BETA stage anymore, until about 3 years after it officially releases. - Shd0w2 2014

2.5grand probably.

 

Hmm with the build I am doing in the upcoming year at premium prices even I would only be dumping in about 1,000 more dollars (or less) for

  1. An i7 8 core cpu - $999
  2. A GTX 880 GPU (speculation only) - $800
  3. A x99 Motherboard (Asus) - $500
  4. DDR4 Ram (16 GB Kit) - $300
  5. A Water block for both the GPU & CPU = 250 (over shooting probably)

For a total of $2,849.00 and my original cpu, gpu, motherboard, ram and waterblocks added together was like 2,150.00 so it would be like a 700-800 dollar increase really.

No? How much do you think? I figure it will probably be over a grand now that I think about it since its packing 8gb of vram.

laptops come wiht 8b's for less than that. it'll be $550 or around there. cutting AMD is a better deal on sales than selling it at 700+
