that CPU is fine. you could SLI and join the club, or you could get a better single card like a 970/980

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

go 2x980s, you can crank everything up and get 60fps

I should rob the bank to have a chance buying at least one 980.

let's rob it together so i can build this:

a single 980 isn't that bad if you have a tax refund or christmas/ birthday money
