Smallest gaming Setup

[adicted]

Maybe wish to make some change on config, instead of one gtx 780 to put 2 x 770 ? Its maybe 180e More expensive, but much better benchmarks? Do i need it, i will play on only one screen?1920 x 1080

That would be a bad decision, it will allways depend on the SLI profile of the game, so it might happen that you are using only a bit of the second card and you will never get 100% performance increase. Also you will take both slots, so when you want to upgrade you have to take out and sell both cards. However the 780, altough rendering a few frames less, will allways use 100% of its horsepower and you can allways add a second one. I would get the 780, not sure what would the other guys reading this choose, but I'm pretty sure that 70%+ will say 780 or "Wait for the 9XXX series from AMD".

Thanks mate, and you are right... Better to stick with 780 and later on i could upgrade with one more when i need it in 2 or 3 years.. No patience to wait for anything i think after weekend i will order the stuff... 

I will change Cpu Cooler for Silverstone HE01 Everything together will cost me with sending cost 1950-2000e

Good luck and happy building!

It just doesn't come down to benchmarks & frame rates it is the performance & stability ( Especially temperature ) that makes a well balanced  system

you bring to the table the facts but you do not bring forth the facts of how the video  card reacts  with other parts of his or her system

Buying components just becoming nightmare!!! Now i start thinking about 7990 there is sapphire radeon 7990 for 669e , That is only 57e more expensive then 780...

Its just so frustrating to build your pc, choice is to wide and trying to get best for what i paying.. Bad sleep already for 2 days hahaha!

Question ? have you exceeded your budget and if you have can you update your list of components so I can help you with your dilemma

[slasher0161]

Well apparently you guys can't buy anything in spain, apparently unlocked haswells are non existant so I made an ivy based build if you want more options you will have to import because based on pcpartpicker you can't get jack.

 

This was what I could come up with, personally for a sff build if you need more storage I would either run external drives or use a NAS.

You will have to double check that tower cooler can fit, i'm uncertain.

That card is AMD equivalent to 770SLI. Altough you MIGHT be able to add a second one later, you don't want to do that because: 1, horrible scaling 2, microstuttering

The 780 is the best bang for your buck in the hi-end segment, i can't think of anything better on the current market, only upcoming 9970, 9990 and 790. And as far as you want to buy it now, the 780 is the best solution.

You are probably right, i spoke today with a friend of mine, he will need a passive gpu , so he told me i can buy one, use it until new 9970  or 9990 series are out, and then sell the passive one to him, and buy for me the serie 9... So i seriously thinking about it, but fu... itching don't let me sleep well

I went today to best store in city,  i could get full configuration with (msi or gigabyte) gtx 780 for around 1800e , with short cables set and few more things i need would be around 1900e.  Cheaper then online... 

If i decide to take that temporary passive gpu which on you guys suggest is best for 150-200$ ?

And i just saw the

Sexy!!!! I like it very much at least how it looks and if it can fit in my case i may go for it... I will check when i get case and board so i see how much space  have left for radiator.

Problem is that on g1 sniper m5 if is single gpu must go to pcie slot 1 x 16 .. So i can not put it to lower slot and make more space for radiator...

We don't even know when the new cards are even being released to the public and hasn't been officially been revealed  so here is a few videos to settle your mind
