My Current Build:
MoBo: Asus Sabertooth Z77
Case: Thermaltake Chaser Mark I
CPU: Intel core i7 2700k (stock cooler)
RAM: 16GB (4x4GB) Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz
GFX: 2 Radeon HD 6950's crossfired
PSU: Thermaltake SMART M Series 850w bronze cert.
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty
SSD: 120GB Mushkin Enhanced Chronos
HD: 3TB Western Digital Green
My monitor is my tv 46" Samsung 1080p
I was wondering what I should upgrade my graphics cards too or if I should at this time at all. In the near future I want to upgrade my tv to a 4K resolution for future 4K gaming and everything else 4K has to offer. I would love to make games in the future as well. So as of now im only gonna be running games at 1080p.
I was checking out the new R9 series for AMD. Specifically Sapphire's Vapor-X Tri-X R9 290 and crossfiring them. I don't want to rule out Nvidia or prefer AMD over them but I have only had Sapphire cards and it goes with the aesthetics of the build. I call it Sapphire Beast and It is black and blue. I would like to stick to that while increasing performance.
I know the reasons why crossfire gets hated on but I can deal with it if its solved In the future. I never had problems with my crossfire or my 6950's.
Also, in the near future I would like to water cool my build. I prefer to build my water cooling rather than by closed loops. It would be my first time doing it but I have a knack for it and have been researching it for months.
First on my list is the graphics cards though. So the price for the cards I was looking at is 458 each so id like to keep the price range around there. I need future proofing for 4K and the best performance to replace my crossfire setup while keeping the aesthetics in tact.
Thanks for the Help!
