Hi everyone!
I'm looking for some advice. I've had my current system for approximately 4 years now and this 7870 just doesn't cut it anymore. Please keep in mind that it is not really an option for me to build my own system due to "financial constraints". I will be buying a system and then paying for it for the next 3-4 years.
It seems to me that I have 3 options (in terms of suppliers) - Scan, Overclockers & Cyberpower. There are a few issues with these suppliers though - Scan does not allow you to choose the brand for your graphics card, you are literally limited to EVGA, you cannot even buy a system without a graphics card. Overclockers only has memory of up to 2666 if I remember correctly. Cyberpower may be the best option for me as I would be able to choose not to have any graphics card in my system and therefore I could buy/use a brand that I liked the most.
I have done some research and I am definitely going for 980 Ti, most likely Zotac AMP! Extreme edition. I am also very keen on grabbing 5930K, originally I wanted that 5960X beast however the price for it seems a bit steep. I've done some research on ASUS Rampage V Extreme and it seems literally a beast of a card, however - is it really worth getting it? Some advice would be really nice. Please keep in mind that my budget for this system is ~ £2.4K excluding graphics card OR ~ £3K with graphics card.
Some of you will most likely have your own views and opinions of EVGA/Zotac and whatever else, what I am looking for is somewhat "straight out of the box" beast of a card. I do not want to do any overclocking myself - if I'm not mistaken it makes the warranty no longer valid. The reason why I wanna go for AMP! Extreme is because it literally destroys any other card in terms of FPS (straight out of the box, I'm not talking about customized overclocking).
Oh and I plan on gaming on 1440p (if that makes any difference)...
Lastly, if you read this - thank you! The question is - can you help me?
