Hey all,
I'm currently looking at buying a new comp since I'd like to get back into gaming now my schedule and life allow the time for it, especially with ESO coming out at the end of the month. The problem is I've been out of the computing loop for a few years now and have absolutely no idea about a few of the options available to me and what would be a better choice. Also since I haven't really seen the inside of a computer for years I'm not comfortable with building one as I would have been.
Right so onto the details, I would like to keep to a budget of £2000 Max for this. The full system I'm currently looking at is the "Titan Envy Duo" Intel Core i7 4770K @ 4.4GHz Overclocked Nvidia GeForce SLI Gaming PC. I planned on keeping the default options available to me except for the following:
Win 7 Pro 64bit
250gig SSD
OcUK 24x DVD-RW
As for the graphics card options, this is where I'm some what perplexed. Would the single GTX780ti 3072 option be better than the two GTX770 4096mb? I've tried doing some reading up on this but its basically a wall of text critically hitting me, so any help would be appreciated.
Also I have a couple of other questions regarding the over clock and water cooling, both of which I've never done or had. How detrimental is the overclocking to the life of the CPU and if so, do I need to keep an eye on anything? As for the water cooling, is the system self contained or does it require topping up every so often etc (I can only imagine those of you in the know cackling at that statement).
Any help would be appreciated and if anyone has any suggestions on possible changes/systems I wouldn't mind that too.
Thanks!
