I'm planning on getting a new PC to replace my Mac and I'm also planning to make a triple monitor setup, I'm pretty settled on the IBUYPOWER Revolt
Here is the build:

*Intel Core i5-4670k (4x 3.40GHz/6MB L3 Cache)

*Certified CPU Fan and Heatsink (Intel) ( I chose this over liquid cooling because the Revolt already has some holes punched in it on either side ;) 

*8 GB [ 4 GB X2] DDR3-1600 Memory Module

*NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 - 2GB Single Card

*ASRock B85M-ITX

*500 Watt - FSP 1U 80 Plus Gold Certificated Power Supply

*1 TB HARD DRIVE -- 32M Cache, 7200 RPM, 6.0GB/s

Some of the games I wanna play are Racing games ( Dirt 3, F1, NFS: Shift 2 etc.) FPS ( Crysis 1,2,3, Dishonored, Mirror's Edge, Portal 2 and upcoming games like Thief) and Indie games from time to time ;)  will it play those in Medium-High settings with FPS of around 30-60?
Thanks

The 760 is great for 1 1920x1080p monitor not to sure for 3. Get a 770 4gb version or if your settled on the 760 you'll need the 4gb model. But in the end it's your choice. (:

i'm running a triple screen setup on 2 way sli with gtx 760 2gb and i'm happy with the setup. before getting the second card i only played low tech games on source engine on triple screens, more demanding games only on one screen.

getting a 4gb 760 ist not that useful because the 760 simple lacks power to use 4gb vram.

so yeah, you can play games on 5760*1080 with only one gtx 760, but only low tech games. (portal 2 e.g. should ran maxed) otherwise you would have to settle with min-low details

Too bad there aren't any 4gb ones :(  only 2gb I'm guessing thats because they're too big for the case

November 3, 2013 10:13:27 AM

One of the problems, which is also a benefit is that the case is a little bit smaller than your regular case

That case looks amazing, I would say go with the card which best fits your budget obviously higher the price higher the performance but I may say a card that's out of your budget I would say the 780 is best for 3 monitor setup at playing at good fps and settings also it has 3gb of VRAM but the 770 is a little beefier than the 760 so I would say go with what your budget suits best (: but if both of those cards are out of your budget get the r9 280x

Thanks! The 770 seems to fit my budget, Is there a certaing processor I should chose? The list of the processors are in the link just scroll down a little

The i5 4670k best gaming cpu on the market (: bear this in mind 2gb is starting to become the mininum gpu requirements I would seriously take a look at the r9 280x but then again your choice (: All the best.

So, I don't know the ones on the list go up to only r7 260x, and I don't want to unscrew the computer and put a new card in :/  and again this guy http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Gxr6I_ke0tg runs 3 monitors no problem on gtx 660, and also, how do I connect 3 monitors to one card?

The 760 is better than the 660 and can barely keep up with 3 monitors. I had the GTX 760 4GB and was running 3 1680x1050 monitors and was barely getting 50fps on high settings. For 3 1080 monitors it would be lower. Get the 780 or the 290x if you can afford it. If not, go for the 770 4GB model. The GTX 760 can utilize 4GB of vram. I was using just over 3GB with 3 monitors but the card just cant keep the FPS up with high settings at high resolutions.

The OP said the 4gb models are not available where he is getting the pc so I say the 770 2gb is best fitted for the OPs budget and needs.
November 3, 2013 12:08:59 PM

I don't demand high fps like 50+ I'm all right if I have 30+ fps :)  I think the 770 is perfect thanks, you cleared up a lot of things for me :D , but still be free to post more tips for me, I'm kind of a noob in this XD but I made some progress and I understand more now

I think I might buy a single gtx 760 and then buy a second? although i dont know where i can squeeze it in XD. So it's single GTX 770 2gb vs dual GTX 760 2gb

If that white REVOLT case is the one you want it won't support more than 1 graphics card.

Good idea. Its a pretty case but doesnt leave much room for anything. Also, are you set on using a smaller motherboard? What kind of budget do you have for your new PC?
November 3, 2013 1:51:32 PM

My budget for the computer itself is around 1000-1200

And I was surfing the IBUYPOWER website and found the same total build just in a diferent case so i can shove anther graphics card if I wanted to http://www.ibuypower.com/Store/Special-A

If you want. Getting a single 770 will allow you to sli on the future but when you get 660 sli you have to sell both cards and buy a whole new one. My advice get the best card possible right now, when you see a preformance drop sli bear in mind get a beefy psu for headroom and option to crossfire (amd) sli (nvidia)

I'm sorry lol didn't see your two questions above yes a 660 sli would give you 40 fps in crisis 3 obviously not max but still good plus no real difference between medium and ultra
November 4, 2013 2:33:06 PM

Also I'm getting the oculus rift so in the future the triple monitor setup will be pretty useless ( since I mostly do gaming )

I know this is a late post but I had to add my thoughts. 2 GTX 760 4GB cards in sli would rock! *(2 cards with 4GB of Vram, you only use 4GB, not 8GB. Just add that clause.)*

2 760 GPUs with 4GB of Vram would not bottleneck at all. Having 2 scaling GPUs is the whole idea behind Sli.
January 13, 2014 8:45:20 PM

GTX 760's don't really use the 4GB, and since there was a sale, I decided to get the 770 2GB instead since its gonna be more powerful even if the 760 is 2GB
January 14, 2014 11:11:42 AM

Are you running 3 monitors with the 770 2GB?
