Hey all, I was wondering what you think might be a better option for a long-term, "future friendly" build:
A) To build a Micro ATX system with a Maximus VI Gene and 4770K in a Corsair Obsidian 350D with 2 GTX 780s GPUs in SLI; or
B) To build an ATX system with a Maximus VI Extreme and 4770K with 2 GTX 780s in an Obsidian 450D.
This build will be a 2-3 monitor HD video editing and flight simulator machine, and a crucial research work station running 17-20 hours/day and often days on end with a very large number of analysis programs and windows open (web browsers, Word, Adobe Acrobat/PDF, Powerpoint, etc.)--all simultaneously.
The ATX/450D case is about 2" taller and 2" deeper than the Micro-ATX/350D case--(either way the case will sit on my desk). I am concerned about heat factor running 2 GPUs in SLI with a Micro-ATX/350D case due to closeness of the two GPU cards (valid concern?).
Lastly, I also would appreciate your thoughts on whether you even think 2 GTX 780s are a good idea/recommended--is this overkill? (If wisdom would suggest 2 GPUs not necessary--still which mothorboard/case?).
I keep going back and forth and would most appreciate some more experienced insights/wisdom on this--thank you very much!
