Hello,
First of all sorry for my bad english :)
As the title says i need some advices for upgrading my gaming rig.
At the Moment i'm playing at 1440 and my configuration sometimes struggle.
I like to play with no compromise usually that's why i want to upgrade my pc.
The current configuration is:

CPU: intel 3570k @4.2 daily
GPU: evga 780 superclocked acx
PSU: ocz 600W
MOBO: msi z77a-g45
RAM: 8 gb corsair vengeance c9
Audio: xonar phoebus

I found 2 options that fits the budged
the fist one is:

CPU: intel 4790
GPU: 2x780 evga superclocked acx
PSU: corsair ax860W platinum)
MOBO: Asus maximus vi extreme
RAM: same
Audio: Mobo

Second one:
CPU: intel 3570k @4.2 daily
GPU: amd 295x2 (circa 1300E)
PSU: corsair ax1200(circa 300 E)
MOBO: msi z77a-g45
RAM: 8 gb corsair vengeance c9
Audio: xonar phoebus

i'm really struggling between this 2.
the price are calculated for where i live and are almost the same.
If anyone can give me any advice or want to propose a different configuration is welcome.
If you need any other info just ask.

wich motherboard do u think i should get?
in more detail i think maybe the maximus extreme is a bit a overkill for just a sli..i'm considering the hero and maybe buy with the money saved another ssd or 8gb of ram.
what do u think
 


I'd get the Asus Maximus VII (maximus 7) Hero, it's cheaper and it's a great board. Or if you don't want asus, get the Gigabyte Z97 Gaming 7.
