[img]http://i.imgur.com/v8aJ6eN.png[/img] (yes I know my CPU is hot but I fucked up the bolts for my H100 cooling and had to temporarily throw the stock cooler on) I'm thinking to upgrade my GTX 570 to a GTX 680, and possibly a new processor? Not sure what I should do on the CPU, or if it's just fine. I want to add a third monitor, a 29" IPS with a 2600 something by 1080 resolution. Will the GTX 680 run all that fine? What's your guy's take on this? Thanks
what is up with your ram shouldnt it be running at 1333mhz or 1600mhz?
[QUOTE=Flarey;40536391]what is up with your ram shouldnt it be running at 1333mhz or 1600mhz?[/QUOTE] Shit, it should. I just realized that, it's Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz
Why do you want to upgrade? I doubt there is anything you cant run. Also: Dont upgrade your CPU untill haswell comes out next month.

depends on what you're going to do if your gaming a gtx 680 cant run battlefield 3 at 60 fps ultra settings with 3monitors
Go AMD get a 7970 GHz

[QUOTE=zackh;40542251]the drivers on AMD cards are shit, I've seen that from too many people.[/QUOTE] They most certainly arrent. And have not been for many years. AMD does have the edge in high resolution gaming.

But so far I haven't had any problems with it.
[QUOTE=zackh;40542251]the drivers on AMD cards are shit, I've seen that from too many people.[/QUOTE] The 7970 (not the GHz edition) is pretty good value compared to the GTX 680. They generally overclock nicely as well, and it's not like you need to push the clock rate extremely high to get a playable framerate on these cards.
