If you do decide to get the Gigabyte, I suggest you go for the 780 ti ghz edition.

Because it increases your chances of getting a higher quality chip with higher ASIC quality...

The benefits of multiple GPUs are only realized greatly when you have two mid/low end cards and want better performance from them without having to pledge your house. A 780 Ti should more than happily crush 1080p at 60fps provided your other components aren't creating a bottleneck.

The GTX 780 SLI is easily the most powerful/future proof option. The GTX 780Ti and The Titan Black are pretty much the same card, the other one just has twice more memory.

Well he wasn't asking for a completely future proof setup, he was asking for the most future proof setup.

This is difficult to answer because there are many variables involved.

The 2 x 780's is in theory are more powerful & if you get the 6 gb versions the combination will be more future resistant.

However this is depends on the game because some games don't work that well with the SLI profile and the 780's will have a higher frame time variance in most scenarios.

At 1080p in my opinion the 780 ti/ Titan black will deliver the best experience in most cases unless you have a 144 hz monitor and want to get higher fps on ultra & don't mind the higher frame time variance.

Games are starting to use more VRAM so if plan on upgrading to 1440p or 4k the cards below might be your best option because 2x Titan black would be the best option however the 2k price might be a problem for your budget.

That's a pretty average monitor and it should do fine, although I'd recommend something like the Asus VG248QE.

it's about 2100€ which is perfect ( im gonna buy the parts one by one )

also the monitor you suggested me is a 24" 3d monitor , and i'm looking for a 27" one , and that is under 170€ on materiel.net / ldlc.be / amazon.fr

EDIT : didn't mention it all costs around 2100€ with some water cooling components , an xbox 360 controller and a mouse pad

NO CPU is immune to bottlencking high end GPU's. There are many games where have a hard cap on how many frames the CPU can feed the GPU. Those who shoot for 120 FPS know this.

You may not "see" the difference, but most people can feel the difference when sitting in front of the game controlling the view with your mouse. For me, and many others, it is more of a latency issue than a visual one, though I do see the difference if I switch the hz now, as when you get used to viewing things at high speed, your mind expects it.

However, the bottlenecks will start as low as 40 FPS on many newer games, and even down into the 20's in some rare cases. They may not linger at those FPS long, but you'll run into low spots here and there.

The 4670k is the best value according to Tomshardware and has excellent single core performance.

Some games benefit from I7 cpu's like bf4 multiplayer however @ 1080p with a overclocked 780 and a 4670k the experience will be excellent.

Ubisoft and ID/Machine Games so recommends a I7 processors for Watchdogs and Wolfeinstein.

Wolfeinstein is incredible with my 3570k & 780 ti at 1440p.

Ubisoft is going to create a patch because even with a I7 4 and 6 cores and a Titan black people are getting occasional hitching and stuttering while driving.

There is a rumor that Ubisoft is going to make the game less reliant on the CPU.

I would either buy the new devils canyon 4790k or the Haswell e 6 or 8 core processor when they come out.

Apparently the Maxwell architectures includes an Arm processor and a unified memory architecture that is less reliant on the cpu. Higher Resolutions are less dependent on cpu and more reliant on the gpu however consoles are designed with 8 core cpu's with unified memory.

The future of the pc industry has never been this exciting in my opinion.

^ I'm not sure what that has to do what what I said.

I never said the 4670k wasn't a good CPU, or what to get instead. I only wanted to stop the spreading of false information. No CPU is immune to bottlenecking with high end GPU's. CPU's are currently put under too much load in many games, and simply cannot keep up at times, unless you never exceed 40 FPS.

Mantle and DX12 will play a big role on reducing that problem, but it likely will never stop being an issue, as dev's will always find a way to use every bit of power they can find.

The OP said:

Well i'm pretty sure an 4670k won't bottleneck any of these cards , but which one of those options would be the most " future-proof " option out of all?
Thanks for the instant-help :)

Basically if I understand him correct he wants us to confirm that the 4670k is good enough for the cards he is considering.

Then you started talking about cpu bottlenecks however you weren't very clear.

I just elaborated on the topic...

The 4670k will be excellent for most titles - can you give us an example where the 4670k is not allowing the graphics cards mentioned to reach their full potential @ 1080p?
