So I'm starting to build a list of parts for my new machine which will be used for 4K gaming.
The two things I'm stuck on are AMD or Nvidia and water cooled or air cooled.
Right now I'm heading towards 2 290x's for the extra gig and for the price.. although my brother has told me about the extra heat and noise(don't care about the noise really) the 290x's produce compared to the 780ti's
I have checked these benchmarks out: [Crossfire vs SLI] 780Ti/780/290X/290 x Dual/Triple/Quad | TechPowerUp Forums
Looking at that I'm still heading towards the 290x's because its only a few frames different, its cheaper and that 1gig of vram should help with 4k right? textures and stuff. Its around £320 cheaper to buy two 290x's then two 780ti's
I don't really want to go down the water cooled route because I'm lazy. If I did get the 290x's I would be going with:
Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 290X Tri-X OC
Phanteks Enthoo Pro case
with a few of these in it SP120-PWM High Performace Edition.. or is there anything better?
Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler
So my questions are:
Will air cooled be enough for 2 290x's
290x's better for 4k gaming then 780ti's?
Are the 780ti's really worth £320 more?
I appreciate any help whatsoever.
Thank you!
ps: I haven't decided what 780ti cards I would want yet.
