Hello, need help with a build!

I'd love the FTW3 TI, that and the HOF ti easily the sexiest of the TI's, Problem is, I have no idea when its going to be shipped, probably around may 17th and I'm abroad working, So I need to go back for a week on the 5th may, build it and bring it back. Not sure what to do now 

Seems like you have a rushy agenda for the next couple of weeks, why not wait longer when you're more settled? Vega is coming soon and that should shake the prices positively any ways.

Thanks but that's not an option as I'm here for at least a year, would like to get the ball rolling.

 

Does anyone know if you can fit a 3fan TI in the s340 elite with the radiator from the x62?

Yeah I just saw some reviews people said customer service wasn't great and they had issues with OC'ing, that is a beauty though. Wonder how much they go for. Im in the UK and looks like they have to direct suppliers for their cards.

 

Would you say the custom TI's are all pretty much similar? I cant justify spending another $120 for 2 fps increases.

I would definately go with a 1440p/4K monitor to make full use of a 1080 ti. It would be wasted at 1080p.

Also have you not considered Ryzen ? The extra cpu cores will help with streaming.

Packed with all the latest NVIDIA technologies and supporting fantastic G-SYNC technology for super fluid frame rates in action packed games such as Half Life 3, Fallout 5, Prey, Quake: Champions and Doom, take your gaming experience to the next level with GeForce GTX 1080Ti.

Thanks for the info!

 

 So there's no point even discussing 3fan TI's lol.

 

SC2 It is I guess.

 I really like that card, two issues, not sure if it will fit my s340, pretty sure it wont and also Im only here for 10 days from may 6th, doubt I'll be able to get it by that date, unless you know any different?

 

Cheers.

The NZXT S340 supports a gpu up to 364mm if you don't have a rad at the front of the case, or 334mm if a rad is fitted.

Not sure on the dimensions for the 1080 ti, but the previous GTX 1080 HOF was 330mm long. If the 1080 ti is the same length then it will fit ok.

You can always send Overclockers a webnote to see if they have any idea on a release date.

thanks bud, I reasearched a little more and found out it would fit ok, Now I need to find out when the FTW3/HOF is released, may indeed contact them/scan -  I'd take an SC2 as well if they are going to be arriving super late.
