980 in SLI. It costs less than the 780ti, but performs slightly better. It would also give you access to Nvidia's new technologies that are only compatible with newer cards.

I recommend the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo. It costs less than the nh-l9i, and would definitely give you some headroom when it comes to overclocking and daily use.

About 2 years ago, I bought an HP p7-1226s. It is a good computer, but is severely lacking in the graphics department. That is why I would like to upgrade it with possibly a GTX 750/750ti, or maybe an r9 270. Could I do that without having to change the power supply? I do not know the brand, but...

Pretty soon I will be putting together a rig for gaming and school. The card I want is an nvidia GTX 780, possibly 2-way SLI in the future. I have been looking at 2 possible display setups, but am having trouble deciding which one to go with. The ASUS ROG swift PG278Q is coming very soon, and...

Okay, so I recently updated windows 7, and TF2 won't launch. Every time I try to launch it, It says "Preparing to launch team fortress 2" However, the game never launches. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? All answers are appreciated.

So I am building a gaming rig with a pretty high budget. The card I have picked out is the nvidia gtx 780ti. I have the ASUS VG248QE 1080p monitor picked out, as I really want that 144Hz refresh rate. I have a few questions, however. plan on eventually getting another 780ti and 2 more identical...

Will the HAF-X hold the Noctua NH D14 CPU cooler? It's massive, and I'm not entirely sure it will be able to fit? . Will I be able to fit 2 GTX 780 TIs in SLI mode in the HAF-X? Will I need better fans, or are the stock ones just fine? Will I need a fan controller? If so could you recommend a...

Here is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2pT9l I plan on overclocking my CPU to around 4.3 GHz. Do you think I will need aftermarket case fans? if so, could you recommend a few? Thanks.
