Okay, right now, the highest I will pay is about 450 dollars for a brand new graphics card, preferably from the GTX 700 series, as I am not too fond of AMD's line of graphics cards.
The ones that I am currently torn between are:
GTX 760
GTX 770
GTX 680
Or if I should save up and just get a single 690 around Christmas when I actually have that kind of money?
The 760 has shown great performance in 1080p games, but it won't really run multiple monitors at 1080p. I want to be able to run 3 1080p monitors and game over at least 45 FPS on pretty decent settings. I was thinking of running a 770 and then running another one in SLI once I needed the extra power, but I'm not sure if that will cut it or not for the next gen games that will be out soon.
I am still considering the 680 just because it has been a flagship card for nvidia and proves to be pretty powerful, but the 770 has pretty much got it beat for now.
A 780 has been out of my mind just because it seems overpriced for what it gives in performance terms.
A 690 is very enticing, but getting the money for that would be another obstacle to overcome.
The system that I am currently going to purchase is:
i5 4670k - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6819116899 ($239.99)
Corsair H100i - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6835181032 ($109.99)
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming Motherboard ATX LGA1150 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6813130693 ($139.99)
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4) DDR3-1600 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6820233186 ($69.99)
Coolermaster HAF 932 Advanced - ($159.99)
XFX 850W ATX12v / EPS12v - http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...CatId=5441 ($99.99)
Okay, well there is my whole build that I will be purchasing sometime in October. I am completely open to all suggestions, but I tend to lean towards the GTX series. I have looked at the 7990, but with all the microstuttering stuff that I've been seeing lately, I've kind of steered away from this.
I didn't go with the i7 version just because I don't use hyperthreading and it's extra money spent on something that I won't use.
I will overclock this CPU to about 4.5GHz if I can get it there without BSODing, so lets hope that can be achieved. If you would like to make a different suggestion about this build other than the graphics card, that is perfectly fine.
tl;dr I want a great graphics card that won't give me trouble and run practically all next gen games on ultra settings with multiple 1080p monitors.
EDIT: Don't comment about hard drives, I already have one that I will be using, but if you have a nice SSD that isn't overpriced, then throw it out there for me!
