Hello,
I am building a new system within the next 2x weeks. The system will be used for Gaming atm. I just wanted to know which Nvidia graphics card would be best for my new system. I will be buying through Newegg. I need a Single Card....not going to SLI... I am running a Single Monitor setup as well. Money is Not an issue but I am looking for the long term, reliability, heating issues etc. My question really is whether or not I need the 3g card vs 1.5g 580 vs 590, Water cooled or not? Any help would be most appreciated.
