Going to build a new gaming/content creation rig in late October/early November

Couldnt find anywhere that said any information that was helpful to me.

 

Also any information regarding content creation and what key aspects of a video rendering workstation are.

Thanks

290x cf would perform better but would consume a sea of power and be really hot, without the right cooling solution I wouldn't do this, maybe get two 970's? but 1 980ti will be great right now

You would think Ubisoft would support the Bulldozer based architectures more given their digging themed names like bulldozer, Piledriver, Steamroller and Excavator.

If you already have a 290X then get another one for CF (or a 390X, you can crossfire them because they're the same card). Otherwise get a 980 Ti

Wait until then to decide

 

Also, what content are you going to create ?

Recommend what is best, not what you preffer.

"Like" comments to show your support of them or the idea they express.
