What the hell is a 7990?

It doesn't even exist you boons!

I can only assume it is a dual-GPU 7000 series card, which as mentioned will be a complete nightmare in quadfire. Also unless you are multi-monitor it is a waste.

45cm long! :eek:

45 cm - that's about a one and a half foot long video card then LOL. :D


@ OP - depends on the resolution. :)

For up to 1200p, all I would consider would be an i5 2500k with a decent cooler like the DH-14, 8g ram, 128g ssd and crossfire or sli at the most. If you went to something like eyefinity or surround with very high resolutions then I would go for three gpu's.

ROFL, your girlfriend's mom is going to buy you a PC?

Is she afraid of you to broke the heart of her little daughter? haha.

Probably one of this GPUs is just enough for 1080p, if you want to run Eyefinity or something higher, take both of them.

I agree with the man, take two of the most expansive cards, just after release, that's not good. I would wait a few months, even if it sounds stupid.

Hi guys

After years of console gaming, I tried PC gaming and so what I was missing out.

My 30th is coming up soon, and my very rich girlfriend (well her mum mainly) said she will get me all the PC parts I need:

so what you guys think of this:

Rampage Extreme 4
I7 3930k
32Gb Ram 1600Mhz
Coolermaster cosmos 2
coolermaster 1200 watt psu
7990 x 2 (when they come out)
m4 ssd
revodrive 240gb
xonar d2x sound card

Would this be too much for gaming, and if so what could u do with this spec

Thanks in advance

Does she have a sister for me? It's my birthday tomorrow too lol.
 
one 7990 would be more then enough and 16 gig of ram more then enough , i would skimp revo drive and get some good ssd in raid 0 would work out similar speed and more space , and watercool the pc.
