build options

hi 8pack

how much of that ram do you recommend 16 or 32 ?

i currently game on 2560x1440 and will never go multi moniter so would a pair of r290x be sufficient.

thanks.
 
I say we do an ask Doomedspeed forum as he is the expert around here!!!

Yeah R290X x 2 would work well under water and will rip through the resolutions your playing at!!

16gb is enough for performance in quad channel yes. More = Perf down unless you absolutely need it!!!
 
hi 8pack not sold my rig so going to rebuild in old 1 how does this spec sound. the gpu will be sli.

please feel free to advise on any changes and ive read about the new 1200iw corsair do i need to change my existing 1200w corsair.
many thanks.
 
No keep yopur Corsair the AX1200 is better in my eyes than the 1200i. I use 1200 AX in my systems not the newer model.

Build looks fine. GPU can be debated but those are good GPU and clock well. AMD R290X are worth a look with water cooling on em. As are 780ti the same.
 
thanks again for advice 8pack had a look into 290x sli vs 780 sli



and 290x beats it hands down.

never used amd before but there's always 1st for everything.

probably go for 2 pre watercooled from you do you know if this includes backplates as i prefer the look.

thanks.
