Was looking at ordering my new rig next week, some final battles of the mind to overcome. My budget allows me to get a gtx titan, though ive pretty much decided against that as they a lot of dollar. Im fairly set on 2x 290s but a part of me is tempted by the 780 6gb version.

A single 780 with another around xmas, same with the 290 which allow me to endulge in the 29" super widescreen dell monitor. Though this isnt 4k so am i wasting my money? Should i plow all my dollar into my gpus and wait to get a new screen.

Currently using 22" lg screen gaming at 1080p. Thoughts gents?

Budget around 1500 give or take. Looking at devils canyon i7.

I would look at getting a 4790k and mobo first

Then a 290P

Then figure out what resolution you want to use and get a monitor

Finally another 290P if needed.

Forget about 6gb cards unless you plan to use 3 or more as you won't have the GPU grunt to use the extra VRAM with 2 or less cards.
