Any Recommendations

Also, Dual channel RAM. Quad channel will be terrible for upgrading/performance. Plus, you have a bigger risk of doa sticks.

not making sense here. since dual channel will work with the same performance with 2 sticks or 4 sticks of ram.

16gb of ram will be plenty for a long time , since operating systems are getting more optimized to use less ram.

but i agree tho with you that 2 x 8gb will be better then 4 x 4gb, since there will be less heat.

 

 

 

The more video cards you add...the more latency you will introduce.

 

not to mention that not all games support multiple gpu's & the heat & power consumption.

could add a small custom loop

 

earlier you mentioned a second 780, that fits into that build nearly,  ends up being ~2200$

A 690 is 400$ more for 5% more performance I would rather go with a 780 and possible SLI down the line 

Edit: That is why I picked a 760w psu

One powerful GPU is better than two.

He understands.

Still 690 is not worth the extra 400$

get a custom cpu loop for ~150-200$

 

if you really want 16gb of ram , change the ram to this kit : http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f31866c9d16gsr

Since you actually care about price/performance, get something close to the first build I posted.  If not, you'll be a Logan hypocrite, and I'm sure you wouldn't want to disappoint him.

a 690 is 2 gpu's, for the power it has, a 780 would be better.

Having Logan as my profile pic doesn't mean anything, so stop bringing it up

actually , it's 1 physical gpu.

[VVR4ITH]

Technically, yes, but on one card.

[Godlygamer23]

No. It's one card. Two GPUs. And I believe they're on either side of the card.

Nah, I'm good.

 

But since you actually care about price/performance, get something close to the first build I posted.  If not, you're still a hypocrite.  :p

Like I said I do not want an AMD CPU and a 780 is better price to performance than a 770, also a 550w isn't enough if I want to SLI

[dolarsignzeroxeighty]

No. It's one card. Two GPUs. And I believe they're on either side of the card.

 

by gpu , i was referring to 1 card, i guess my hands didn't type card instead they typed gpu and i didn't notice it.

but anyways we both were saying the same thing.

 a 780 is better price to performance than a 770

Uhm. No it's absolutely not.

The G3D Mark / $Price for a 770 is 16.63 while the 780 stands at a terrible 11.57. That's worse than BOTH the 7970 and the GTX 680. (respectively 13.00 and 13.55)

The pro has a 5 year warranty, and has 560mb/s reads and nearly 540 mb/s writes,

 

i think the non pro has something like a 3 year warranty and like 530mb/s read 390mb/s write

 

that's a pretty good difference for like 80$ extra :s

It's not about the sequential read/write speeds but the random read/write speeds for an ssd that's not for storage. 

 

That means the speeds in iops--specifically the random read speeds.

The Samsung 840 pro and non pro are pretty close in performance when it comes to this.
