[Swndlr]

What resolution and refresh rate for your monitor. I would say a single 980 Ti over SLI anyday. I run SLI and not all games scale well with SLI.

one 980ti

Was for other guy and it was 2 290x's

[JackTheYoungBuilder]

I will upgrade the monitor later on

kk.

but yeh, one 980ti would be better and then add one later when the card doesnt perform up to your standards, so basically you probably wont need to add another one for a while.

Sweet I heard my psu is shit?

Sweet I heard my psu is shit?

which psu do you currently have?

[JackTheYoungBuilder]

Dont have one rn cause I didnt buy the build yet but a  Corsair CX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

[Overkilled]

Aesthetically two GPUs look way better than one but that's about all sli has going for it another vote for 980ti

I heard those are bad. Go for EVGA Supernova 750w psu. 980 Ti for sure.

 

which psu do you currently have?

Corsair cx 750W psu

Corsair cx 750W psu

that psu is fine.

more than fine... one of the better available ones out there to be quite honest.

Yeah I'd use that excuse to justify needing two 980 Tis personally

[Dzzope]

Do you have a definate date of getting a different monitor.. or what it will be (res and refresh?)

 

If no I say get 1 970 and bump to a k processor and a better quality PSU..

I got dual 780's with the expectation of getting a swift, which I never did (really want IPS @ 144hz) and it was a mistake..

 

Buy when your ready to buy or KNOW that you will use it in x time..

 

1 970 is plenty for 1080 and if it's going to be a year, you'd be better served selling the 970 and going to next gen.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139040 Well it has several reviews stating it dies and not very reliable. I don't have one so I would not know.

[JackTheYoungBuilder]

will get it in like 2-3 months

[Dzzope]

No.. no it really isn't.. decent on a budget at the right price.. but far from " one of the better"

 

Go for a EVGA G2 or Gs.. xfx are all Seasonic units and solid.. Superflower are pretty damn good too.

[JackTheYoungBuilder]

would the Thermaltake SP-750PCBUS work ok?

[JackTheYoungBuilder]

Do I neeeeed 750 or can I go 600 or 650?

[AliveGhost13]

The CX is not one of the better PSUs out there, you are terribly misinformed.

Look at EVGA G2, GS, B2 (often cheap), XFX XTR, Antec HCG

[JackTheYoungBuilder]

I really like this PSU would it be ok? 

 

EVGA 120-G1-0650-XR

EVGA 120-G1-0650-XR

No, it's not great. Look at EVGA B2, G2, GS.

[JackTheYoungBuilder]

Ok, this one? 

EVGA 110-B2-0750-VR
