Dual Ultrawide build help

[iDeFecZx]

Looking do build a setup with 2x Acer XR341CK. Not sure whether or not I want to go SLI or Crossfire.

Budget is about £1500.

Must use a 4690k, H100i and NZXT H440 as already purchased those.

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Will one of any of those be powerful enough to game on both screens? Ive been looking at the Fury X but 4GB VRAM worries me

The Fury X has so big bandwidth that it actually could handle it but if you don't wanna risk then 2x R9 390x and you are ok

Would a single 980Ti be better than 2 390xs?

No, because 1 r9 390x compares to GTX 980 i guess. 2x are faster than and 980Ti has lower mem bandwidth and 6GB VRAM which can be easily filled up at 6880x1440

CX series is pretty bad, CS series isn't great either, RM (not including RMx or RMi) is kinda meh, VS series is terribad. Both the RMi and RMx series are really good.

So the PSU from my list would be perfectly fine then?

Also, that guy said 2x 390x would be better than 2x 980, but what about a single titan x? Since I would also consider that if I was gonna spend £750+ on graphics cards.

No Titan. Then 980Ti is better than titan and 2x R9 390x beats titan and 980Ti

IMO the thing is right now that both Polaris and Pascal are just around around the corner. I'd wait for their releases before dropping £750 on graphics cards.

 

However, the Titan X really isn't worth it. Because most 980 Tis come with a factory overclock they actually perform better than a stock Titan X.

Would the CPU be powerful enough too? Ive currently got it running at 4.4GHz
