looking good, are them coolers as good as the corsair h100i??

And why would you suggest 2 x 780s over a a single 780TI?

snips86x · 24 Jul 2014 at 20:47

Yes, just as good.

The 780Ti may be fast, but 4K is all about the VRAM. You'll run out very quickly with 3GB. If you want to up it, AMD do an 8GB 290, but they are £600 a piece.

seanr28 · 24 Jul 2014 at 20:49

ok thanks, how does the 4770k cpu compare with the 4790k? is it worth the extra cash?

snips86x · 24 Jul 2014 at 20:50

lol, I didn't see I'd used that bundle, sorry.

Not 100% sure, I think its a little quicker at stock but the overclocking headroom is substantially more.

A little more but:

Stulid, that look s good too. Previously not been a fan of the Radeons, and have since used nothing but Nvidia, how do they compare against the 780s?

Excellent article comparing SLI 780 6GB cards VS CF 290X 4GB cards,

http://www.hardocp.com/article/2014/07/23/gtx_780_oc_6gb_vs_r9_290x_4gb_overclocked_at_4k/1

The two 290X do very well indeed.

agreed, unfortunately I need wireless Mouse and keyboard.

stulid · 24 Jul 2014 at 22:11

Ok, but going back to the actual monitor, the AOC has a better stand that has height/pivot and swivel support.

seanr28 · 24 Jul 2014 at 22:14

ok, thats good to know, I'll have a re-think

I wasn't planning too, I guess I probably should do though for the extra speed.
