SLI 780 Ti Minimum Build

Lowie1771 · Jun 5, 2016

Hello,

To put this briefly, I'm, looking for the bare minimum system, both in size and cost, that will accommodate two 780 Ti's without bottlenecking. If anyone has some advice I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Do you already have the 780 Ti's?

Lowie1771 · Jun 5, 2016

Yes. Just moving for a few months and can't ship my current PC. Looking for something cheap to get the job done in the meantime.

This is the bare minimum, although I'd suggest an i5-6500 and 16GB of RAM.
You can probably get a cheaper, worse PSU, but I don't recommend it.

Thanks. Would it be better to get just one 8 stick of ram to leave room for upgrading, if 8 proves insufficient?
Also, what about using an AMD CPU?

lakimens · Jun 5, 2016

AMD CPUs are just bad, unless you are considering waiting for ZEN.
The motherboard has 4 RAM slots, so if 8 is not enough, just get the same one that's in the build and you'll have 16GB(4x4GB).

Another question. What kind of SSD would I need for this if I wanted that instead of a HDD? I see it has M.2 but I don't really understand how that differs from SATA III and whatnot.

lakimens · Jun 6, 2016

Well, M.2 SSDs are usually faster, but a normal one will still do.
Samsung 850 EVO is the best right now.
