no don't do that

If you can get 2 1080s on Black Friday

[Gonio]

Avoid multi GPU. So go 1080 or titan X.

[Energycore]

Rig looks fine for its purpose, I'd get a 512GB 950 Pro instead of the 850 EVO, you'll really like the increased speed.

No, Get either 1 1080 or 2 1080s. The Titan X for $1200 isn't worth it and 2 1080s will beat the crap out of it and cost the same.

 

In games where multi-GPU isn't supported, just the one 1080 will still be fine even for 4K.

So get two 1080s and what sli bridge do I need? I have never done sli and only computer I have ever built was like a 200 dollar one but I know how to build one.

Use this one

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814998131R

 

It's the cheapest one, but any SLI bridge that says HB (high bandwidth) will do. 2-slot spacing so each of your GPUs get a bunch of air for themselves.

Is the Evga SC Good Enough or should i stick with the Amp Extreme The Sc Lowers price a little bit will it make a huge diffrence or no?

[Gonio]

Go 1 1080. Rather have no full 165Hz or tweak some settings IF needed then go multi GPU.

They're the same thing. The cooler on both is equally capable, and they will hit virtually the same clocks.

What do you mean?

Despite more fps, multi GPU can still make a game run less smooth vs a single card solution. And that is IF supported. I see no real reason for your setup to go with multi card setup.

1 1080 will give you good fps on most games, and even then you still have a screen with Gsync that helps. And if that is not sufficient, tweak some settings.

So just buy one??

[Gonio]

Yes. Save the money for future upgrades. What games you (plan to) play mostly?

All the newer games such as IW MW Remastered Battlefield 1 Gta V H1Z1 And a couple I cant think off of mind right now mostly shooters tho

Most of these will run 100+ fps on high to ultra settings  then. It always depends on game and settings used. GTA V for example at very highest settings on 4k and maxed out is even to hard for Titan Xp SLI to get above 60 Hz while on a bit lower settings a 780 can run the game fine. Obviously thats 4k, but just to make a point that setttings on higher reso's make a ton of difference.

So with one 1080 I should be able to run these games on 1440p

[RevoThePlug]

On GTA I'll be playing online and doing mods because they are fun but as long as I can run it at 1440 with high settings not looking to do 4K anytime soon I'm okay
