APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Late September/October
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Wanting to play heavily modded Skyrim, Dota 2, Rome 2/Shogun 2, Theif, Dishonored, Ass Creed IV, Civ 5, and all Paradox grand strategy games and in the future Witcher 3, Civ: Beyong Earth and probably other titles I can't remember right now
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: AMD Radeon HD 6870, had it for quite a few years now, I think its time to upgrade. A Corsair RM 750w 80+ Gold.
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS:
CPU: Intel 4670k overclocked to 4.2Ghz with a Corsair H50 cooler
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-SLI

Case/Cooling: Corsair Carbide Series 200R ATX Case with 3 extra 120mm fans
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Ebuyer/Amazon
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: UK
PARTS PREFERENCES: Not a big fan of Saphire just based on looks. And I am interested in trying Nvidia GPUs as I have always been AMD before. Not very picky though, I just want whats best.
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe in the future
MONITOR RESOLUTION: currently 1920x1080 but going to upgrade to 1440p or possibly 4k.
I was looking at the 780Ti but its really expensive and I'm not sure if it is worth the extra money over a 290x for example.
