that card, but when the non reference ones are available.


while it won't do ultra on 100% of games, that is a pretty damn solid build! i would just make sure the motherboard supports crossfire if you ever decide to add a second card. enjoy the new rig!
 

which games I can't max out forexample!? and yes the mobo supports 4 way crossfire.

 


gpu heavy games like metro last light, metro 2033, bf4, crysis 3. you want get bad frames but you won't get 60fps running everything on ultra. now two of those cards if running at 1080p 60hz will stomp ultra settings!
 
oh and just heads up, that motherboard should only be run in two way crossfire, the third and fourth slots go X4 when filled are not intended for a graphics card, they are for raid cards, sound cards, etc. but you super solid for two way!
 


ok how about my waiting for a single r9-290 (non-x) will i be able to max every game then!?
 


you should hear how loud it is at above 50% fan speed!
 

well what's your recommendation then!? I am confused
