Hi all,

Pretty quick one here today on the forums. I have 3 PC builds I am currently looking at, 2 of which have GTX 780s (1 with 4670k, 1 with 4770k) and 1 with a GTX Titan.

Now I need peoples opinion on the matter, as you can see there is a distinct price difference,
However, I am only buying this PC for gaming purposes, for High to max graphics on all new games such as crisis / far cry etc on a 1080p resolution (perhaps 1440 if it can get it).

Build 1:
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1411_1553&products_id=25383

Build 2:
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1411_1553&products_id=25452

Build 3:
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1411_1553&products_id=25559

So take a look at those 3 builds, and let me know if the $2150 build will be adequate for me to play on max graphics at 1080p. or should I splurge on the extra $600 and go for the titan build, or will the titan build experience any sort of bottleneck issues etc?

Thanks all.

two 780s in SLi is much better than a Titan, and for the same price.
get the second build now, then with the $600 difference get a second 780.
but keep in mind, for two 780s, you'll need a better PSU, something close to a 850W with 67A on the +12V trail.

Hi again all,

So I decided to do some research and see how much cheaper it would be to build a PC myself.. and turns out the price difference is minimal here in Australia :/ Not sure exactly where all you reply posters are from but I have found that I save very little by building it myself, which to me isn't worth the hassle really. =S Am I missing something here?

Whoa,some of those prices are just really high!
The advantage of building it yourself is that you can pick every part out yourself,with deals and with high quality components. By simply mirroring the prebuilt, you're already saving $100 but you're missing the point. Let me get back to you.
