Well, I'm not the best person to talk to honestly. I go hard with tech. I have 2 Titan X Pascals (12gb of vram each).

Personally, I'd get a Titan X P. One card plays almost all games in 4K all ultra 60fps. (I got 2 to play in 5K and above)

Or...you could wait for the (possible) 1080ti that hasn't been announced yet.

I'd personally drop $1200 on the Titan X P, but that's just me. It's got the vram, the teraflops, etc., and $1200 isn't a big cost for me. Depending on your needs that might be overkill or too expensive. It all depends if you want 4K, all ultra, or can deal with lower settings. I'm an all ultra guy, so I buy the best possible cards out. That's just me. You may be fine at 4K, medium, 60fps. If so, get the 1080.

Yea im fine at medium 4k settings. Thanks for the input. Might look into that titan x p card though. I got 5k to play with

You got 5K to play with? Do what I did (I have a 5K computer). Get a 6850K and dual Titan X Ps. You'll bet set for 2-3 years, My machine is a monster and eats pretty much any game up (except Dues Ex (It's not well optimized). Get a corsair 1200 PSU while you're at it. I used to run with the 1500, but that's overkill. The 1200 does just fine (no coil whine or anything).

Brehs.... I finally did it.

I officially joined the realm of PC gaming. Not that little can barely run two steam games on my old 8 year old PC shyt.

But that "I can run damn near everything shyt"


Though, I ain't close to touching none of yalls mutli-thousand dollar builds. I just needed a new powerful PC to do 3D modeling, and it just so happens that it's running everything I throw at it at high settings. Never in my life have I seen this, I'm looking at my PS4 like :francis:

I use a h100i. It's perfect for my 6850k. I've never gone above 70c

The pascal cards like 16/16 pcie, so the cheapest way to do that is go with the 6850k. If you get 2 cards with a 6700k, you'll be throttled (I know because I had a 4790k at 8/8 and it throttled my performance crazy. The 6700k does the same thing).

Get the Asus deluxe 2 mobo. It's a monster.

I've been an Asus guy my last 3 builds. Their mobos are the best in my opinion. The X99 deluxe 2 is the truth :wow:
I roll more with EVGA or MSI personally, but ASUS has some great layouts.

Some of the ASRock boards look pretty good as well. Holding out hope that Ryzen delivers...we need that competition. I might be the only one here with a Ryzen build :mjcry:

Why can my PS4 run a game at 60fps while I'm streaming in 60fps yet my PC can't? :huh:

I cannot play Overwatch on PC and stream it simultaneously. Why?
