MQGreyF :

you will need 2x GTX 760 SLI or a GTX 780 to drive a 2560x1440 monitor at high settings and native resolution. tell me what parts you need ? case and OS and keyboard and mouse and SSD included in price?

computertech82 · Jul 27, 2013

You are going to need a far larger budget in order to play 2560x1440. That is more demanding than 1920×1200. Look for benchmarks for 2560x1440 and see what hardware they are using.

+1 SNA3's system will easily do the job. I game at 2560x1440 with a single Radeon 6950 2Gb and can play all games I have tried so far on high settings sometimes with reduced AA.

PatchyAdam · Jul 28, 2013

I have the Asus 2560x1440 monitor with 2 Sapphire 7970s runs great love it runs battlefield 3 metro 2 farcry 3 on max no probs once you get a 1440p monitor I guarantee you will never go back they are amazing really worth the extra money and reduce the AA yeah you can and don't even know the difference

Thanks a lot man! But as I found out not all the stuff cost the same prize in europe.
I would like to ask you what do you think about getting : AMD FX-Series X8 8350 , 16GB DDR3-1600MHz Kingston HyperX Blu XMP and 2x GIGABYTE HD7950 3GB (384bit) as the main parts. Also how about 2133Mhz RAM instead of 1600Mhz would do that some change ?

where are you in europe ? I can hep in prices there more than usa

Edit : Avoid AMD for high price System , not worht it get intel.

SNA3 · Jul 30, 2013

oh and Avoid AMD graphics in Cross fire they stutter , SLI is better for dual graphic , get 2x GTX 760 if you cant pay for 2x GTX 770 .

or maybe get 3x 760

Thanks again !

How long do you think that sysem would last? But why should I avoid AMD? I heard for same prize u can get more power , and what do you think about that graphic card I posted?

SNA3 · Jul 30, 2013

MQGreyF :

AMD graphics in Cross fire STutters .. are bad. and they dont have PhysX which is very nice addition. and the GTX SLI better and run smoother.

this is the best I could do for you in europe ...

the AMD CPU and Motherboard are just cheaper , g o for them only when you pay little 600 euro cheap machine , not high expensive machines.

they dont put good sound on board , and no good LAN , and cheap power components , thats why cheap motherboards.

also they lack good SATA3 with TRIM support for raid SSD which you can use later and is cheap to make.

also no PCI express 3.0

Avoid AMD if you are paying more than 600 euros

AMD is for cheap systems.

Tell me if you want to add a third card SLI in the future so I choose the right mother board for you.

This system will last 3-4 years dont worry

Thanks a lot sir for all your time , your very useful information and your help! How much more would it cost if I'd add 3rd GPU ? I mean how much more the mobo would cost? I think I'd be fine with 2 GPUs or what do you think?

for 3x SLI , in Haswell , it will cost you around 100 euro more on the motherboard ..

however if you go SandyBridge - E CPU , and X79 mother board which has Native 3 ways SLI it will be 50 euros more .. and it will be an i7 not i5 CPU , but no overclock. if you want overclock , will be i7 6 cores cpu which costs 200 euro more.

so if I'd go 3 GPU I need i7? Im not gona overclock , how much more it would cost all together again?? and which i7 would it be? are all the i7s better than the i5? for the GPU there's EVGA , MSI , ASUS , GIGABYTE , ZOTAC , which should I take , the one you said?
