Im from Austria, i will play most of the new games that come out (also continue playing wow) , i did write the 2 resolutions im planning to use and playing on max settings at 2560x1440 with 780ti should be very easy, at least if we look at the reviews .... the point of the feedback in this thread is about different component brands options, O.C compatibility, maybe a different SSD for some reason etc
Usually i tend to fail when i do things for myself, so i need opinions from others
780ti is the newest NVIDIA release, and it showed up today, it beat the crap out of the 290x on every test until 4k resolutions (since 780ti comes with 3gb memory)
also 290x was reported for tons or issues (95c alone) causing it to drop clocks by alot , and its only 100$ price difference..
the difference in i5 and i7 is small, 5-10% and yes its not really necessary for gaming only, tho im not trying to save money... id rather say maybe more perfomance for the money ? cutting the cpu/ram to get a better SSD for an example wont affect gaming peromance in a better way, also like i said i plan to O.C whatever goes with this build, so a strong O.C friendly MB like the Asus Hero is needed imo
on the PSU i might agree with you , but the price difference is way to small for me to try to save up there
