I was originally wanting to invest in one of those Titan X cards but assumed, as much as knowledge as I lack when it comes to these things, that one 980 Ti is probably good for now. I could always add another if I want to, right? If it is inevitable that I will eventually have two 980 Ti's, would it just be better to get one Titan X anyway? What would be cheaper?
Anyway, the computer will be used for gaming purposes for some of the newer and future games, as well as rendering in programs like DAZ3D and Poser. Fallout 4 will be one game I plan to play and I will download mods for it, as well as Skyrim. There's also Star Citizen should it ever release, World of Warcraft, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and Grand Theft Auto 5 (which my current computer can barely play even on low settings) to name a few games that I am interested in. The idea is to play the games I am interested in on maximum settings with a stable 60fps or more.
The budget is $2000 but is flexible by a few-hundred more. I'd like some suggestions for a monitor as well. The monitor is separate from the budget but I don't want to buy anything too expensive. I came across this ASUS PB278Q 2560x1440p monitor but is there anything else more ideal, preferably 1440p and 144hz, for a decent price? http://www.amazon.com/PB278Q-27-Inch-LED-lit-Professional-Graphics/dp/B009C3M7H0
I might buy two monitors but I can't really see myself utilizing the other one for too much so I am still trying to decide if it is even necessary.
Thanks.
