Wondering if someone could review my build?

Thank you to people who help, and I'll accept changes but kinda only if necessary.

You would have better performance at that resolution, however with only 2GB of VRAM, that is asking a lot from those cards. You can have more than one screen on one GPU, but for gaming across multiple screens you would probably be better off with a 7970.

 

[Gennaios]

your only(mistake)would be the ram better choose 4x4 ram the more the better and higher performance would be!

 

[TheBigTroll]

but there is zero point of SLI on a 1080p screen. a single card is more than enough

But it gives me the option for 2560 right? And I can have a second screen because of it?

assuming you are willing to pony up 700 dollars for a marginal increase in the amount of pixels you get, i doubt dual video cards make sense at all

Okay How about we bump ny budget up to 1500

 

[TheBigTroll]

have you even seen a 1440p screen? because if you havent, i can tell you that there is a marginal increase in viewing space. its justifiable if you are doing things like video edits where you want to see as much as the timeline as possible, but most of the time it makes no sense for gaming

No I haven't but I'm not doubting that your completely right.

Okay How About this build, Because I want two 1080p screens and an increased preformance boost.

The performance gains of the 680 over the 670 does not justify the price difference. Again though, gaming at 1080P does not take this much graphical horsepower. For example I have one 7950 and I get 70FPS on the new metro game at 1080P... One 7970 or 670 is more than enough. Save your money and upgrade down the road if you need it.

So get one 670, even trying with two monitors? Or should I just get one 680

 

[TheBigTroll]

there is no difference between a 670 and 680. thats about as much as someone needs to know

 

[aFFiix]

Ok, so how is the build itself is any other part not going to provide what I need, or?

 

[Transmaniacon]

I am not sure what the number of monitors has to do with anything. If you are wanting to game on multiple screens, then you need 3 for nVidia surround or AMD EyeFinity. If this is the case let us know because then SLI/Crossfire would be useful. If you just want a second monitor for whatever then yes just get a single 670 or 7970.

Ok, I would like to hopefully get to the whole 3 monitor eye vision thing. So I guess I would like to see the option,/cost of it.

 

[TheBigTroll]

there is no point of wanting 3 panels if you havent gamed on it before. you will at least need 2 7970s to power 3 panels and then another 600 dollars worth of monitors for a wider perspective that isnt all that useful in most cases

 

[Transmaniacon]

Yeah agreed ^

I think the novelty will wear off fast. I would much rather go for a 120Hz monitor, something where you will see improved gameplay. That would warrant a dual GPU setup, but for 60Hz 1080P, you just need one.

You get a fantastic gaming monitor, capable of 144Hz and will provide a very good gaming experience. This build will last you longer too because games will become increasingly difficult to max at multi-monitor resolutions. If you want a second monitor for multi-tasking then knock yourself out.

 

[TheBigTroll]

^above build will over heat. i can almost 100% guarantee it

 

[Transmaniacon]

Upgrade to the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2, has a similar look to the case you picked out, but with much better cooling.

So this is the recommended monitor? Other than that Im going to follow this build. Being in my current Economic status it may take a few months but I'll follow this build.

 

[TheBigTroll]

id rather get a IPS 60hz 1080p screen than a 120+hz tn panel. colours are way better although you dont get the same speed

I guess it is just opnionated, for example I use a lot if Samsung and ViewSonic monitors.

 

[TheBigTroll]

well expect a decrease in image quality then by using a 120hz tn panel

Ok, should I buy fans/ what should I get.

Ok, I can easily see your point.
