Hope I could help!

780ti for maximum support with all games, Single GPU solutions are the most practical as it will result a lot less heat and power consumption that an sli or crossfire config

System: 5930K, MSI X99 SLI PLUS, GTX 780Ti (SLI),  840 EVO, Fractal R4 (Full Custom Loop)  (IP)

single gpu is better. SLI, as great as it may seem, is way to hot for most systems

My System Specs: (Short list) i7 4770k, GTX 780, many SSD's, a 2 TB HDD(deceased :( ), Corsair 650D. Full list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kchriz6097/saved/8dh7YJ


Upgrade Plan: Acquire some Black Noctuas then add 16 or 32GB of 2133MHz memory

This is easy,

770 SLI is the way to go for reasons I will explain.

Its all about the memory, the 780ti has 3 gig and if you plan to play higher than 1080 you will need 4 gig minimum.

A 770 4 GIG sli setup is about 60% faster than any 780ti card so that's one reason,

A 780ti has 3 gig of memory and if you ever plan to sli them you will still only have 3 gig and you wont be able to benefit from the extra speed it gives because you will hit the 3 gig memory limit as soon as you turn up the res or res scale.

I got 3850 meg usage on bf4 all ultra settings res scale 200% screen res 2560x1600,You cant do that on a 780ti so its far from being future proof in fact the limited memory will stop it being future proof so there isn't any point in wasting your money buying another.

Right now the best setup you can have with 2 cards is the 290x in crossfire 4 gig 2 titant 6 gig and 770 4 gig.

I cant begin to explain how bad it is that nvidea had this weak 3 gig memory on there main card it makes it redundant for anyone who wants to max there games out.

If the 780 had 4 gig this would be a different story but it hasn't so it isn't.

I tried out 280x crossfire last week,

maxed game out but I soon realised I was memory swapping,

the speed was there but the memory wasn't and hitting the 3 gig memory limit the cards had made me realise 4 gig is the minimum amount of memory is whats needed if you play 2.5 or 4 k

No more about 1920x1080 its been around for years now and kind of outdated and no pc gamer who buys top end cards should be playing on such crappy low ress.
