What is your intended use for this build?

Gaming,Streaming,Epic Multi-Tasking.

I'm looking for the BEST POSSIBLE PERFORMANCE i can get with what I have.

 

I Already have the following:

AMD A10-5800k Processor
MSI A88X-G45 Gaming Board
8GB RAM 1866 (to be upgraded to 16GB soon)

600W 80+ Bronze PSU

I'm looking to buy what would be the best GPU for my setup.
Budget is not an issue, I just want the BEST possible GPU out there which wouldn't be bottle necked by my CPU. 

So what GPU do I buy?

if budget isnt an issue, i'd more so look into swapping that processor out for something more capable as well. (since you've mentioned streaming)

 

thats probably gonna come with a mobo swap as well tho.

Hmmm.. Should I post this in the New Builds or Planning? Well.. Im looking into Upgrading to a i5-4590 What intel board would be Equivalent to the A88X-G45 Gaming Board?

or what Board and GPU would it make sense to purchase?

"Budget is not an issue"

 

Throw what you have away and switch to intel with a 5960X. Get 3x Titan Xs for bragging rights, and 128GB of Dominator plats.

 

We really need to know whats your maximum budget.

well, depending on what "budget isnt an issue" means exactly, theres lots of ways this could go.

 

also: are you planning on overclocking?

the thing with that is some people dont have a set budget, but would rather spend a sensible amount of money to get what they need. nothing more, nothing less.

 

i *theoretically* went 90% over budget on my build.

What's your budget? If you say it's not an issue I'll tell you to get a GTX 980 Ti.

 

Also, anybody recommending an AMD card isn't considering the already potentially massive CPU bottleneck. AMD GPUs don't manage CPU overhead very well, whereas NVIDIA GPUs do quite a bit better. In scenarios with a clear CPU bottleneck, NVIDIA just about always wins, even if it is a lower end card.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

Hmmm.. Roughly Lets say 35,000 PHP more or less would be reasonable for a CPU+GPU+Board i Guess.. so that would be around 750-800 USD

cooling is mostly personal preference.

 

i prefer a big, beefy tower cooler, because theres not really all that much that can go wrong with a chunk of metal, as compared to watercooling.

Xeon E3-1231v3, cheap B85/H97 board, GTX 970 / R9 390. That's around $600-650USD so it leaves room for possible inflation. Price to performance, it's a pretty good combo.

Thanks. I would definitely condsider these specs. Posted a new topic over the New Builds and Planning.. I think this is going to better fit there. Thanks a lot everyone for your Opinions, Information and Help! ;)
