ASUS or MSI for GPU . and 8gb is enough so save money on that and buy PSU like ax760 (sli enable for 2 780ti) or xfx xtr 750 or 650 . other is fine

budget is max to max 2000$...not even a single dollar more...lol.....so u guys telling me that two way sli is better rite..... and about the motherboard which is the best one...like asus or msi or asrock......and which model......

Soel Henry · Mar 27, 2014

is 8gb enough for both gaming and editing and rendering youtube videos............

STACKS ON DECK · Mar 27, 2014

■ sli is way better for future proofing your rig . . if not willing to do so so single 780ti is well enough . asus then asrock for board . .
8 gb is enough

Soel Henry · Mar 27, 2014

in asus which one is good enough....for now i have choosen asus maximus vi formula...is it good enough or shld i check on something else.......

STACKS ON DECK · Mar 27, 2014

asus is top of the line now . other brand are rated almost in same category (asrock . gigabyte . even biostar) . . but put brand loyalty aside . . choose between asus .asrock or gigabyte

logainofhades · Mar 27, 2014

Z87 extreme4 from Asrock is an excellent motherboard for the money.

Soel Henry · Mar 27, 2014

and about the psu which is the best out of the lot ans how good is the corsair and i heard 800 watts is more than enough.....
