Just a couple questions

- Is 8 GB of RAM Enough ?
- MY Games range from the occasional FPS to mostly MMOS/RTS/LoL Type Games
- Is a 690 Really better for lets single monitor gaming compared to titan ?

Knowing all you do which build would you choose in my spot if you were going out to spend $1800

- 8gb is enough for gaming
- 690 will beat a titan at single monitor easily but a 3 monitor it becomes closer since the titan has 6gb vram compared to 4gb in the 690 but it will still do better

I would get the middle option with the 780, for a single monitor it will work perfectly for what you are asking i just wanted to show you different options

For gaming alone, yes.



Yes; assuming that you run GTX SLI Titan.



Grab the one that I just put up.

8GB of RAM is all you need any more and its just being wasted, I would go with the 780 it has 90% of the performance of a titan but for a ton of money less, pocket the rest of the money and maybe a couple years down the road you can SLI two 780s.

I recommend throwing an SSD into the build with the extra savings, it really sets your rig apart from the every day computer.

yeah a 770 will beat a titan but not on the vram factor, 4gb max vs 6gb obviously a titan if better and its a single gpu so you wont have any sli issues
