So I've seen all the input on the last two pages, and I'm going to consider it all... also, thanks for the complete build suggestions above. Gives me some more pieces to check out!
Seems the GPU is where I need to put a lot of thought into. I've come to the point where I'm going to try to cap my budget at right about $2800 actually. And I'm going to be needing a brand new 27"+ 120Hz monitor. So that will also be a factor in all my decisions...
But back to the GPU... Now that I've seen the comparison between 2 680's SLI and one 690... given that would roughly be the same price ($1k), I definitely agree that a single 690 would be the way to go! HOWEVER, I'm still going to weigh all my options and make my decision when I'm about to make all the purchases. But I totally appreciate the input. I don't think I would have even considered the 690 until you all brought it up. So thank you again!
If you ask me, there is no need for SLi 680s or a 690 right now but if you got the money then go for it!
So what would you suggest (right now), given you don't think there is a need for SLI 680s or a single 690? (Just out of curiousity)... and why do you think this? (Again, I'm just curious)
