Hey community,
So I am extremely on the fence about what graphics solution to stick in my new build I have been working on. I have been reading non stop for days about all the current high end card options.
The build will be water cooled on the processor, motherboard, and GPU(s) so no closed loop options. Doing it my self.
The below list is what I have already picked out with the green items already have been purchased
PCPartPicker part list: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/FMeM
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: Asus Maximus V Formula EATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Trident X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-2400 Memory
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Storage: Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Power Supply: Corsair 860W 80 PLUS Platinum Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8 Professional (OEM) (64-bit)
Case: Corsair Obsidian Series 900D ATX Full Tower Case (Not released yet)
Basically I have been going back and forth for days now. 690 hydro copper? Titan hydro copper? Crossfired 7970s that I have to put blocks on?
I can not make up my mind. Price isn't a huge issue but I don't want to go over 1300-1400 for graphics. I don't have a preference on AMD or Nvidia. I do overclock and I don't have a preference on a single card or going SLI/Crossfire.
I want something that a year and a half to two years from now will still own anything I throw at it.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
thanks,
Adam
