I have been looking extensively into building a new gaming/performance pc. I have almost all components chosen except for the graphics card. I was hoping you guys could help me with my final choice.
My system so far:
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth x79
Processor: Intel Core i7 3820
Ram: Corsair Vengance 4x4 GB DDR3 1866MHz
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 3TB
I havint chosen a PSU yet but I will choose it to fit the system, not the other way around.
I will be watercooling the system so a reference design card would be preferred but is not necessary.
My card choices are but not limited to :
EVGA 015-P3-1582-AR GeForce GTX 580 SuperClocked Video Card: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6942892&CatId=3669
EVGA 02G-P4-2685-KR GeForce GTX 680 SC Signature Video Card: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2522512&CatId=7387
These 2 cards I looked at because they seemed to be very good value for their price. What I am looking for in a graphics card is something that is powerful enough to last me a good while that I can add another in SLI or Crossfire when they start to run out of steam. I probably wont be overclocking them myself but a pre-overclocked card is fine. The GTX 680 is a little too high priced for me but I will get it if It is worth the money.
Can you guys help me pick out a card? My choices arent limited to these 2 but they are the ones I researched the most.
Additional info:
Games played most: Skyrim, Dirt 3, MW3, BF3.
