Is my pc the best it can be

[Bryce Chapman]

Hi guys/girls I just want to see if anyone has any opinion on improving my system before I lay down the big bucks, I don't want to go over 5k and I already have my sdd and hdd thank you http://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/Chuckels333/saved/4FrC

Yep, seems pretty ridiculous to me.

Thank you I'm trying to future proof it, so there is nothing you would add or change?

there's a difference between future proof and wasting money.... i'd like to hear of a real world monitor setup where you can make use of three 780ti's.

if you have some crazy resolution multi-monitor setup where you could actaully USE the power of three 780tis, then you'd be limited by their relatively small amount of VRAM.

Hi thanks for the reply, I know it's over kill but I do plan on getting a asus PQ321Q than when I can afford it possibly another, so yeah eventually I'll be running 4k monitors. That's why I wana get an insane system right now

Personally, I wouldn't go with Tri-SLI at all since it doesn't scale well on a huge amount of gaming scenarios so I don't think it's worth the money.

That would also let you drop the crazy expensive power supply to something like an 850 80Plus Gold, which should save a pile of cash there too. The difference between 80Plus Gold and Platinum is negligible for power costs and generally not worth the price (unless you were doing something like a coin mining rig where the GPU's will be at 100% 24/7).

If it's going to be a couple of years, why not get a reasonable system now, and then a great system when you get the 4k monitors and you can actually buy the hardware to drive 4k displays? At this point, unless you are OK with abysmal performance, 4k is mostly just a marketing gimmick.

Take a look: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/gtx_780_ti_sli_geforce_review,23.html . . . with dual 780ti's they are pulling 40fps on a single 4k monitor. There just isn't enough hardware today to properly process that much data. You'd get a far better gaming experience with a lower resolution, but great high frequency or wait for variable refresh rate monitors.

two 780ti's already have enough horsepower to use over 3gb of VRAM at 4k. So you add a third, and it's doing nothing extra b/c you're hitting that 3gb VRAM threshold with two of them....

VRAM doesn't stack with GPUs. so 3 780tis all share the 3gb VRAM from one card... you DONT get 9gb of VRAM

Ok cool thanks for your help, just out of curiosity I know you aid it doesn't scale well but running them Tri Sli and this system in general how long do you think till I have to upgrade anything? I.e a new game comes out and I can't run it

Ah ok what about 3 x Ve27eh I'm currently using one of them as my monitor and I love it,. Hoe would the Tri sli run on it do you know?

I doubt you would need to switch out gear for the usable life of the machine. People are still playing games perfectly fine on single video cards with 1GB or less of RAM on them. I don't think you are going to be pushing 4k gaming unless you wait for there to be cards that can at least get decently playable frame rates on a single card and then SLI a couple of those.

Ok thanks, what about using programs like Adobe after effects with rendering? On my current pc I'm running a amd cpu and a asus gtx 660 ti and rendering is a cow of a thing
