Moving up in the world !

stulid . quick one for you :)

i have more time to build now, which means more money effectively.
A friend of mine has a titan graphics card? and he said that he think i should get one in my build... is this graphics card worth it? as he said it was like £700 or something

could you make a build for me with the titan involved?
my price is now around 1400 ish.


also, could you tell me how it compares to the other builds you quoted for me earlier on in the week?

thankyou pal
 
The TitanX is a recent release and is £900 for the cheapest - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=701&catid=1914&subid=1576

You just dont need that sort of power for 1080P or 1440P resolution gaming.

If he was talking about the previous generation Titan cards based on the kepler architecture, then the 980 is a more modern design and faster than even a Titan Black.

Sweet. I can now say I'm happy :) haha :) would this be a system that I won't need to upgrade in like a couple of years. As that's also what I want to try and avoid :)
 
If you stick to a 1440P and for the specs with dual cards even higher, resolution monitor then I can safely say these will cope for years to come.

would the 2nd one (the £1,020.91) - would that run top end games? on high setting?

and are they all the bits i need (excluding operating system) to get the PC working? (sorry about the noob questions)
Click to expand...

Wooah...

If u are new to PC gaming, I would steer well clear of Sli just now.....

....also hang back on the graphics card for anbther couple of weeks. More choice and/or more bang for your buck is a certainty.

Other advice would be to stick to 1080p. That is the sweet spot, that is where you will be able to get best graphical quality and best performance from a mid range card for a good while to come yet.

Coming from console you probably think 30fps and even screen tearing is normal/acceptable, but after while gaming at 60 fps with v-sync (no screen tearing), you will not be able to go back to consoles.....but like I say, stick to 1080p for best quality-performance and the least expense and other hassles.

Edit: I see you have went for a single 980. Good choice.

What you've ordered, the 6 core CPU, will do you for a long time. The 980 is a lot of cash for a card, the 970 would have also done you fine for that screen Stulid mentioned.
 
I would have also maybe held off buying bits until you had the budget to get it all in one go....

You know things can go EOL or out of stock etc, or you might get more for your money come the day you have all the cash to get the parts in one go.

Your case has no external drive bays for fitting those fan controllers.

You can add LED strips to go inside and add more illumination.

It would need to external - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BB-000-NX&groupid=701&catid=1428&subcat=189

Have you ordered the CPU+board? as there is now cashback of £46 available - https://toptechcashback.com/uk/en/pages/cpumb/qualifying
