The GPU is prepared for custom-loop water cooling. It has no fan/ traditional heatsink.
 
i want to be able to max out bf4 though and metro last light? and what is hydro copper editon?

 


o so i cant hook it up to my aurora and why an extra $200
 
Because the water block is very expensive, and no it will not work in your system unless you have a custom loop water cooling system.

You are missing the point. You DO NOT need it. It will be a minimal upgrade. Its not worth it when your current GPU will max those games no problem.
 
ok i just see all these other pc gamers with this stuff i guess like pro setups and stuff how about this though

That is the stupidest RAM I have ever seen. Normal ram won't decrease performance at all. 8gb RAM is still more than enough for AMY game. You have 16gb. It is more than enough and will be for a long time. Adding more ram will change nothing. No FPS increase at all. You have an amazing computer. Better than most people have. It will max any game. There is nothing at all holding it back in any way. You do not need to buy into all the gimmicky things that will not change your performance at all.

Don't change anything about your computer. Its perfect. Will max all games. Don't worry about anything.
 
ok thank you so much btw can the 680 handle three monitors and nvidia 3d vision

 
?

 


It should be able to yes. But a better GPU won't make much difference when it comes to multiple monitors. You would be WAY better off adding a second 680 than getting one new GPU.

But yes, the 680 should do 3 monitors just fine.

Depends on what you want to do. Multiple monitors, 2 680s is much better. One single monitor, a 690 will be a tiny bit better. But honestly unless you are going multiple monitors, don't change anything about your build at all. You will need to find as close to your 680 as possible if you want to SLI. You also have to make sure your motherboard has 16x - 16x GPU lanes. If they are 8x - 8x, it is useless for this high end cards.
