Hello and I need help to chose the Graphics Card that can handle any kind of games on ultra 1080p at 90fps+ for next 2 or 3 years.

I play battlefield 4, Farcry 4 and any kind of games that require high-end computer.

I do have 144hz 1080p monitor.

Mainly use computer to play game, thinking about making youtube videos so I decided to buy a new pc.

Budget is around $2500 so if you can pull out a full spec, it would be great.

I do not want to build my self, and I know prebuilt pc is awful and I know it. I bought a computer from a site and it arrived in broken condition (not really, just a power cable was unplugged) so I just refund it.

I thought about building by my self but I don't have time to build computers, no knowledge how to build one and I really don't want to mess up $2500 worth up stuff by my own hand. I like to just send the pc if it have problem and let someone fix it for me.

I was looking at Cyberpowerpc website and designed computer with i7 5820k and r9 295x2 in it for value of $2500 (including aftermarket fans, good ram and motherboard with package service, thermal and clean wire service / value of LED and service = around $150) 

They had this mega sale which does -1000$ to r9 295x2 so yeah. I also saw Gtx 980 which is $300(I think) cheaper if i select it. Which one is a better chose? r9295x2 or Gtx 980 for $300 cheaper

Do you know how to build a PC? itll be much cheaper to get the parts and build it yourself ..

Get 2x 970 in Sli or if you can afford it 2x 980 in Sli .. you wont buy any GPUs for the next 4 years

Remember to follow your threads and quote members whose help you want :)

 

Well, we don't know what kind of breakthroughs, optimization (i'm looking at you Ubisoft!) and other stuff devs will do with PC games! We can't say for sure "980 will last you next 4 years on high gamin", we can only assume going by older GPU's....

 

I made you think, hope you like it :D

Oh yeah, i also forgot to ask O.o

 

Why don't you build yourself a PC O.o You said that you got a faulty PC, and that you asked a refund, but that was a prebuild, wasn't it O.o Could you elaborate O.o I know that my father doesn't want me building PC's because he doesn't want me to break some very, very expensive parts.... But what about you?

 

 

Also, if you have the money, then go with dual 980 vs 295x2, less power consumption, more power!

I just don't want to break anything by my self because I will have hard time getting it refund if I do. Such as putting in the CPU to the motherboard you know :/ Also, I don't want to wait weeks if I receive a broken part. I do not care about power concumption. so which one is better in your opinion? Gtx 980 sli or R9 295X2?

980SLI hands down :D It's more power efficient, it's more powerful, and it's priced, usually, pretty much the same to 295x2 (200$ more or less) :D
