Titan Black or AMD R9 Radeon 295X2?

fraser11 · Jul 17, 2014

Should I get the Titan Black or AMD R9 Radeon 295X2?
I would be using this for Extreme Gaming and attempting to have games on ultra settings or as high as I can get them.

Also if you have improvements that could make my PC better then please tell me

This is my pc I would be getting: http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/computers/intel-haswell-pc/

Thanks

well, the 295 x2 will give much better performance, but i would recommend you build your own pc, using this website http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/ you can build it yourself cheaper and get higher quality parts.

Danbuscus25 :

Also by purchasing of PC Part Picker would I build the pc myself?

Danbuscus25 · Jul 17, 2014

It would be greatly appreciated if you would help me

do you need windows, a monitor, keyboard, or mouse?

fraser11 · Jul 17, 2014

Danbuscus25 :

I would need a version of windows but for a monitor I could pay up to £300 for one plus the £2600 PC so all in £2900 including PC and Monitor. I have mouse and keyboard.
Thanks

Thank you so much for doing that for me

I really appreciate that

so the 4K display would bring out full colour and depth on high settings

The PC is a beast. Much better than the one I had designed

Thanks again

Danbuscus25 · Jul 17, 2014

the 4k display will be the most sharp picture you can get, with the same colors of a high-end tn panel.

Danbuscus25 :

aw okay doke, thank you again

fraser11 · Jul 17, 2014

Danbuscus25 :

also will I need to build this computer at home?

Danbuscus25 · Jul 17, 2014

no problem

Danbuscus25 · Jul 17, 2014

yes, but that is not hard to do, its just like lego's for adults. if you arent comfortable doing that, which i would understand for such an expensive build, you should be able to find a place that will put your parts together for no more than 50 pounds.

fraser11 · Jul 17, 2014

Danbuscus25 :

Okay, I have a shop near me which offer the service, I shall get them to do it for me and can you buy the parts all at once or do you have to buy them singularly?

Danbuscus25 · Jul 17, 2014

you can buy them all at once, but they are all from 4-5 different places, so that will be 4-5 different orders, with 1-3 parts each order.

fraser11 · Jul 17, 2014

Danbuscus25 :

okay

thanks again

Danbuscus25 · Jul 17, 2014

no problem

fraser11 · Jul 17, 2014

Danbuscus25 :

also do all these components fit together and work together?

Danbuscus25 · Jul 17, 2014

yes, they will work flawlessly together.

Jazam · Jul 23, 2014

Honestly you could get the same pc from cyber power for much much cheaper. People love to think the diy option is cheaper but they get components cheaper. Doing it yourself is fun and pretty easy. But saving a thousand or so is better.

Danbuscus25 · Jul 23, 2014

Jazam :

then please build an identical build to the one i made, from cyber power, for cheaper, and post it.

Jazam · Jul 23, 2014

hopefully that link works, this build is at 2528 or 1484 pounds, this will have about the same performance, and with this you have plenty of room left in your budget to get add a ton more, you could get a full loop water cooling system a big SSD, whatever youd like.

Titan Black or AMD R9 Radeon 295X2?
