As the title sloppily asks, which is better for 4K overall?
My friend and I are looking to build a semi-retro tower for 4K gaming to put in our repair shop. It'll be there for Ooooh's and Aaahhh's. So far we've go this going for us
CPU: Intel Core i7-3820 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: CRYORIG R1 Ultimate 76.0 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus Rampage IV Gene Micro ATX LGA2011 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Storage: Crucial MX100 512GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Case: Corsair 750D ATX Full Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair Enthusiast 750W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM (64-bit)
Some is new, some is obviously used. We're not looking for suggestions elsewhere in the build. It's used from what we had available/could afford. We have 2x 7990 on hand, as well as 1x ASUS DirectCUii R9 290. We could grab 2x more of the identical 290's for $150 even from a customer that's upgrading his hardware.
Which do you think would drive a 4K monitor better with details turned up graciously? Leaning towards the 290's due to a less severe minimum frame rate from vram throttle. But not sure. And yes, we know we have to swap out the power supply. The tx750 was chosen when we were just planning to use a single 7990.
