got bored halfway and watched linus tech tips

[Jaehead]

even though you may have a large budget I say you're spending too much on a PSU

get 2 4GB sticks, start with 1 GPU, i5 is fine for what you're doing, and in my opinion the 932 is better than the 1200 (and cheaper too)

I searched up 932 on newegg and it looks like the haf and I turend the haf down

also will a single 580 push out every game I want on my monitor?

[Jaehead]

It will max most games, but not all, and that's why I suggest you wait for the 590 to release

[FalcoLombardi]

Well if you can control your patience listen to Jaehead and I

[axon]

Isn't the 590 two 580s?

[QuadCoreGman]

save money and just buy two medium-high end cards. 6870x2 should be fine for a while.

and before anyone says anything about microstutter, it's a problem with dual GPUs, so it affects the beloved 6990 too.

I think I need more then 1GB, thats why I believe I was advised to not get the gtx460 2win

[QuadCoreGman]

two 6870s is a total of 2gb

[axon]

[QUOTE=QuadCoreGman;28557230]two 6870s is a total of 2gb[/QUOTE]

I may have not been acquainted with recent hardware, but unless amd pulled some magic, thats bullshit

[Jaehead]

[QUOTE=QuadCoreGman;28557230]two 6870s is a total of 2gb[/QUOTE]

but considering his budget 2 mid-range GPUs isn't good enough

also I don't like buying 2 GPUs from the start

[axon]

[QUOTE=Jaehead;28557280]but considering his budget 2 mid-range GPUs isn't good enough

Hmm, whys that?

[Jaehead]

to save money is the main reason, and especially in this case, there's no point limiting your upgrade options by buying 2 mid-range GPUs when you can buy 1 GPU that's just as good

[QUOTE=Jaehead;28557359]to save money is the main reason, and especially in this case, there's no point limiting your upgrade options by buying 2 mid-range GPUs when you can buy 1 GPU that's just as good

yes, I do acknowledge you have quite a large budget, but that doesn't mean you have an obligation to spend it all, right?[/QUOTE]

What about 2 high end video cards, I just wanna be happy for a long time and max out modern games for the next 2 years on my monitor. My friend said that my resolution is extra demanding, I'm just sticking out for him.

I know, so get a 590 / 6990, which is basically 2 high-end cards in 1 PCB, and you can do quad-sli later on

I'm likely never to upgrade it, I'm also probably not going to build it, just take the parts to ncix

[editline]11th March 2011[/editline]

Unless my performance got sluggy in BF3 witch would be a dumb thing to say

[editline]11th March 2011[/editline]

I think I'm going to get the singular 580 for now.

Also, would it be alright if I got a 2600k for bragging rights?

[FalcoLombardi]

Wait for the GTX 590 sheesh

[axon]

[QUOTE=FalcoLombardi;28558033]Wait for the GTX 590 sheesh[/QUOTE]

Will do, do you know if it will have a switch or some way to active full 580 clocks?

(like the 6990)

[Armotekma]

nevermind

no black magic trickery; each card has 1gb of memory.
