This build is mainly for gaming on 3x1080p Samsung LED 23inch (Might Upgrade to bigger screens but same resolution). I am ok with gaming on one screen for certain very heavy graphics games.
I would like to have decent performances on ultra high.
I do plan on SLI'ing in the future.
I will be OC'ing my CPU + GPU.

Please let me know if i messed any information.

Thank you all in advance.

if u plan to sli an 780 ti i dont think 1000w would be sufficient since that card is a beast. I am no psu expert, just sharing a thought.

Rig is mental. Go for it.

watafak :

thanks for answering, the thing is i already own this PSU so kinda stuck with it as i dont want to spend anymore money on things i already own.

but i will make a note to change the PSU when i SLI.

also what psu would you recommend?

my biggest worry right now is will this rig be able to run 3x monitors on 1080p with ultra setting and have decent fps.

thanks a bunch.

for psu corsair or evga to go, also i am not sure if u need more Watts psu i am just sharing my thoughts. concerning the fps worries
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-780-ti-review-benchmarks,3663-5.html

unless u wanna play less demanding games. Doing sli will play above 40 for sure.

edit:also saw this one http://www.maximumpc.com/nvidia_geforce_gtx_780_ti_benchmarks?page=0,1 so i guess u are going to find out if u can play ultra on decent fps

watafak :

thanks a lot man, i guess am sticking to this since everywhere am reading that it can handle whatever i throw at it and then some

.

one more question, and i do apologize for asking you this many questions, do i need liquid cooling for the gtx 780ti or should just stick with ACX? am not sure i will OC the gpu, but might if i need too.

thanks a bunch.

watafak · Jul 14, 2014

i think that u only need liquid if u do extreme overclocking. Usually people tend to overclock cpu to extreme not gpu. Also i think gpu liquid cooling is just to look cooler than the stock fans

. It might have performance diffrence aswell, since running cooler wont hold the gpu back for failsafe tempratures. How much degrees u have while gaming on triple monitor? Celcius
