I just finished building my system:
Asus Z87 with a Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell 3.4GHz, and 32BG Ram
and two eVGA 650ti Boost SC 2Gb, I have signed up for a step to 760 GTX for $78.50 each, $157.

I have been looking for reviews that may compare the difference, but I did find an article that states one 760 GTX is good enough:
"Our recommendation as such is simple, with a single monitor setup like 1920x1080/1200 your maximum number of GTX 760 cards should be a maximum of one or just go for a GTX 770 or 780"

My Asus 27 has a native of 1920 x 1080.

My other choices are:

◦EVGA GeForce GTX 780 - (03G-P4-2781-KR)
◦EVGA GeForce GTX 770 - (02G-P4-2770-KR)
◦EVGA GeForce GTX 760 - (02G-P4-2761-KR)
◦EVGA GeForce GTX 680+ 4GB w/Backplate - (04G-P4-2686-KR)
◦EVGA GeForce GTX 670 - (02G-P4-2670-KR)
◦EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti FTW - (02G-P4-3667-KR)
◦EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Superclocked - (02G-P4-2662-KR)
◦EVGA GeForce GTX 660 - (02G-P4-2660-KR)

I can either:

1. Cancel my step up and go with another card at a lower price?
or
2. Stay with the Step and get the 760 GTX?


Any comments would be appreciated, as I think I have only about 7 days or less to make a change to the Step up Program.

Thanks ahead of time.

It's not overkill at all, its perfect for that resolution.

I am looking to run these 760GTX in SLI, is that still okay for the i5 that I am running??

You'll need to overclock the CPU to avoid bottlenecking in CPU dependent games.

Cool, in that case, I might look @ getting an i7 later, in a year then...thanks.
