Ok so I'm not rich I am paycheck to paycheck .. So budget is whatever I can scrounge .. I have not owned a desktop in a long time lol
Matter of fact last game I played on a PC. Was Shadow warrior and you had to dial up your buddies number to play each other ... Now I've had laptops iPads etc . But a couple months back I saw "THE COMPUTER GAMING STATION "
It had 5x 40" monitors in portrait mode ... OMG ... I also have this condition called ADHD with Anxiety and little OCD .. Combined when I get mentally attached to something I really want to do .. I have to do it ... But making a simple decision can be a absolute nightmare for me .. Well I told my self "I will build one " "oh yes I will build a 5x1 or at least a 3x1 gaming system .. Since my cash flow sucks I'll do what I do best ... Hustle trade etc. well this is what I have come up with so far
.Asus ROG Rampage IV extreme
. Intel i7 3820
. LIQTECH 120x AIO cooler
.16gb ddr3 1600 (HyperX)
.1tb HDD ( WD )
. 250g SSD (Samsung Evo 840)
. Evga 1300 g2 PSU
. NZXT H440 red/black Case
I had 1 guy tell me to get 2
EVGA GTX 960's which isn't bad cost wise cause I think there 200 bux right now ...now right now maxed out 1080p is what I want to achieve .. My thoughts are
I can get one card then later get another but I've never paired GPU's
So any recommendations would be awesome .. Keep in mind budget .. I'm not saying cheap but titan z are out of the question . 1300 for one GPU

Look I'm not looking to start a debate over AMD VS NVIDIA .. Just looking for opinions
That's why I asked about the benchmark
It clearly states the 980 is at the top .. I have heard great things about the r9 series cards has anyone had to deal with heat issues running 2 or more cards ?? These are just questions I'm not insulting anyone

960 is a low-mid range card that should really cost about $140

you heard? I am running CrossFire 24/7 and AMD 15.7.1 drivers are great; which cannot be said about nvidia drivers that crash daily and don't work on Windows 10

But yes there is a ton to consider in my case I have to research the card I am thinking about spending that kind of money on to the point I could be a salesman for them that's just how I am . I take mess but it's just how I focus .. But I have no intention on speaking Bradley about any of these products there all great

WHAT NVIDIA HAS NEVER CRASHED ON MY PC YOU HEARD? NEITHER ON MY OLD GTS 250 OR MY OLDER GEFORCE 6600 YOU HEARD?
AND I HAVE UPDATED MANY DRIVERS. WHEN I TRYIED TO UPDATE AMD 5470 (LAPTOP) DRIVERS ON A FRIEND'S LAPTOP I GOT A BSOD 1 MINUTE AFTER INSTALLIATION!! IF YOU DONT HAVE PREVIEWS EXPERIENCE WITH NVDIA/AMD CARDS PLZ DONT TALK HERE ALSO NVIDIA RELEASED WIN10 DRIVERS HOW CAN U SAY THEY DONT WORK?

please do some reading on what issues people are having with Win 10 and their nvidia cards; also learn to download and install correct drivers, it's pretty easy;
