Best choice?

ChaseDown

Hey! I need help the wife finally approved me to build a new computer and I am having some trouble picking a you and monitor.  I want a 1440p variable refresh monitor ips with under 4ms resppnse time. And for my gpu I would like it to be able to do newer games at 100 fps on the highest or second highest settings, and run a 1080p second monitor with no vet at the same time. 

I'm having a hard time deciding between a vega 64 aib card with a 144hz 1440p ips monitor freesync.  And a gtx 1080 with a 144hz 1440p ips g sync monitor.

 

I dont really care about power consumption or heat!  What I do care about is noise and price, so all reference cards are pretty much out. Ive seen on many reviews the vega 64 beating out or coming even with the 1080 at this resolution depending on game.  The 1080 rout is a cheaper card but more expensive monitor and the vega route is the opposite but saves me roughly 150 bucks on just the card and monitor.

My last build I went purely on a budget and got the most horrendous,case and fans, the combo is so loud my wife hears it in the next room.   I solved that but don't want to suffer from a bad gpu choice pls help.

Ty for the fast response. Do you think the vega will be able to do 100 fps and an auxiliary monitor without blowing my ears off? I relise this not the easiest question to answer. Guess I'm looking for real world experience with both cards to gauge the loudness lol.

honestly you might be better off with gsync and nvidia for now, it doesnt seem likely that AMD will be able to compete in gpu segment for a while

MSI GX660 + i7 920XM @ 2.8GHz + GTX 970M + Samsung SSD 830 256GB
