Hi all,
Hope you're all enjoying the fantastic summer weather!
Last year, I purchased a system (see spoiler) which I didn't think I would want to upgrade. I still do not see the need to change anything however I've been looking into purchasing another 770. The one I currently have is the MSI one. I've also been looking into buying another monitor, either same as the one I currently have or the IPS version.
Having thought about this for some time, I decided to ask the community for advice.
My questions are;
1 - If I was to purchase another 770, would I 'NEED' to buy the 2GB version or would the 4GB version also 'work' in terms of having two graphics cards in my computer?
2 - If another graphics card is purchased, what sort of power supply would I be looking to get in order to support the power consumption of the two cards?
3 - Regards the monitor, what is the significant difference between IPS and the standard LED-Backlit LCD Display and which do you recommend?
4 - Another purchase point for me would be getting a closed loop CPU cooler. Would anyone be able to recommend a decent one?
I do not have a set budget so feel free to suggest what you believe is best for it's value in terms of 'speccing' hardware.
Thanks!
Hope you're all enjoying the fantastic summer weather!

Any recommendations for the brand of a 144Hz monitor?
