New build to utilise existing gpu

Perywinkle · 16 May 2015 at 20:44

Was thinking of an upgrade to my old system (2500k)
Already running a r9280x and was thinking of adding another.

How does this look?

Any suggestions?

Cheers

ps couldn't for the life of me get the basket sharing thing to work sorry.

Was planning on a mostly new build to donate the old rig to the other halfs kid, he's getting into gaming so was gonna throw the olf 6950 back in to get him a starter rig.

Think i'll try twin 280x in crossfire, simply because i've never done it before lol

Ordered

But with the GT and MSI card as suggested, that'll give me something to build next week!

How would this set up handle 3 monitors? Tempted to go down the eyefinity route! or would I be better off waiting for the new VR headsets to come out?

Monitor atm is a Benq 27" 1080p 120hz refresh, was thing of a couple of 27's with a lower refresh to sit alongside.

Still sat in the sodding warehouse queue since Sunday

not a happy bunny when everything was listed as in stock!

Yup shot off a webmail this morning, and another when I got in. Nothing yet.

So it appears the motherboard in the bundle is out of stock.
An email telling me this would have been nice, I could have chose a replacement.
