I need help with my graphics card. Im planing to build a intel 5960x with Asus x99 deluxe, 16gb ddr4 2666mhz, and a mushkin Chronos 240gb followed by a 2TB Seagate barracuda 7200rpm. .. and I have not decided which make of graphic card to buy... wheter I should get a Asus/Evga Gtx 980 4Gb, an EVGA Gtx 980 SuperClocked or a Gigabyte G1 Gtx 980. ......

Im looking foward to all of ur suggestions

With the current difference in price, i don't see why you shouldn't just buy the GTX970 instead, it's much cheaper and comes just below a single 780ti in performance, even if you're a 1440p gamer this will do you well.

The 980 is only a little over 10% faster overall in 1080p, little over 15% for 4K and it's over 50% more money out of your pocket. link for info:

then buy another GTX970 when you have the money.


I know it's a good buy compared to last gen when you're looking at the GTX980 vs GTX780ti, though compared to the GTX970 it's nothing.
No matter which card you're going for, i can tell you this.
EVGA is probably a pretty nice card, though it's not quiet and the card tries to keep itself very cool instead of going for silence
MSI is the exact opposite of this, though the cards still run pretty cool, these are also great overclockers
ASUS is the quality brand probably, runs pretty damm slow at stock, overclocks but not as good as MSI, will turn off fans when idle.
Gigabyte i don't know much about

I would get a MSI or ASUS GTX980/2xGTX970 if i where you, and i would buy a SLI GTX970 setup instead of the GTX980. ;)

Your max memory speed should be 2133 MHZ as per Intel.

Correction, this is the speeds it can run at non-OC.
etc the i7 4770K has a max of DDR3-1600mhz, but that doesn't mean people can't use 2400mhz kits and have them run better than 1600mhz.
i7 4770K ark site:
http://ark.intel.com/products/75123/Intel-Core-i7-4770K...

So in "OC" state or XMP profile (im not really a memory expert), this processor will run higher clocks just like other intel cpus. ;)

He said Intel 5960x. That is 2133 Mhz. And depends on what the on chip memory controller allows. Just because a higher clock memory is used it does not mean the computer gains any speed at all. That you can even see. Or that translates into more FPS in gaming.

Some quick research about this limit and i think you're right.
Though your first message didn't have a overflow of info about it, with just one line and one link to a spec sheet where the memory clocks haven't mattered on their other processors. Please bring in etc. quotes from sites and such next time ;)
