Hi There!
I was just wondering for some new build advice.
I've got around £1,650 to spend. I would be looking to keep this build for a good 4 to 5 years, so I'm trying to get the maximum longevity out of my money. I've narrowed it down to two options, one with 2 Asus 970's and one with 2 Zotac 780Ti's (the ones on offer for £300 each). I can't really find any benchmarks out there where there's a real comparison between the two. But it's obvious that the 970 will use less power as it's Maxwell. They both cost £300, so there's no price difference. Do one SLI better than the other as there might be scaling problems? What's the Zotac like? I really can't find any reviews out there on it, so is that a good sign?
The rest of the planned rig is below:
CPU: Intel 4690K
Motherboard: Asus VII Hero
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB
PSU: Corsair HX 850i
SSD: Samsung 840 256GB
HDD: WD Black 2TB
Case: Corsair 760T
CPU Coller: H100i
Thermal Compound: Artic Silver 5
I already have a good 1080p monitor, but would like to upgrade to 1440p later.
Thanks in advance.
