well i posted about this on the amd side earlier this week but ive been looking at numbers to see what i can afford and i just want to get you thoughts on this.... so here goes lol what i have to choose from is this

OPTION 1
Complete new rig

intel i7 4770k
gigabyte g1 sniper 5
2x evga geforce 780 classified in sli
(rest of parts already purchased)

OPTION 2
upgrade current sig rig

amd fx 9590
2x asus amd radeon r9 290x

im leaning more twords the new rig just because it is newer than the 8350 i currently run and not to mention the new gigabyte board will go great with my cooler master haf x nvidia editoin case with green fluid in the loop and green bit phoenix alchemy ext cables ...... so any thoughts?

intel/nvidia option without a doubt

 

[GregoryD]

nice MOBO too

I would choose option 1 as well. Why dont you add a poll. I know how you feel walking away from the AMD stuff. See my old game rig in the corner. LOL

 

[arcticchill360]

lol poll added although i realize there may be some bias in this forum lloll

i know i really dont want to walk away from amd i have used them for over 10 years but just looking at the current state of things with there fx line and future lack of im sort of torn in a way "sounds strange" lol but from what ive been reading its looking more and more like intel 4770k is the faster better choice......... just not sure........

 

[arcticchill360]

i see you went with the 3770k after the fx 8350 any reason or did it perform better?

 

[sugarhell]

If you have the money for 2 gpus then why amd? Get a 4770k/3930k and then get 2 290/780

Only if you could spend a little bit more money on the motherboard…. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132053

Edit: Thought that the gigabyte g1 sniper 5 was a lga 2011...

Option 3
I7 4820k+x79+r9 290

Btw which is your psu and resolution?

 

[arcticchill360]

psu rosewill lightning 1300 watt, and resolutiion is currently 1920x1080 60hz 27 in hanns-g but i plan on getting 2 more for nvidia sorround

 

[PontiacGTX]

For 5670x1080 3gb is not enough for the future just for now(the games older than 2014) vram wise

Your psu seems to be good
