Hello everyone

I am in the market for a rig and have a couple of questions on the GPU.

1. Will there be a revision in prices in a few days/weeks taking into consideration the cards launched recently?

2. Which of these will have the best performance to cost ratio- GTX 780, R9 290 and R9 280x. Here I am taking into consideration that if price revision takes place these cards would be a few thousands apart.

Hope my questions are not too vague.

post your complete configuration. price changes can not be predicted anyhow. Anyway we will see a price drop on nvidia cards like gtx 780 & 770 ,but i dont know when will it happen.

This is what I have in mind as of now

Motherboard- AS Rock Z87 Extreme 4

CPU- Intel i5 4670k or 3570k

Graphics card - Radeon R9 290/ R9 280x

Ram- Ripjaws 2*4 GB

SSD-Samsung 128 GB Evo

Monitors- 3* Dell S2240L

Cabinet-Corsair Carbide 400R (or similar in the same neighbourhood)

Optical Drive- A simple one as I don't see myself using it much

HDD-I have a 1 TB external which I thought I would substitute

PSU- Undecided

Cooler & fans-Undecided

This setup is going to be used only for one function, sim racing, so while they do require good graphics maybe not to the level of crysis or battlefield. This is also the reason why I am not much interested in having a hard disk as racing is pretty much all that I would be doing. No storing ( I don't know if this is a good move on my part).

I would be looking to overclock so could you suggest a suitable cooler to go along with it.

Is a liquid cooler necessary?

How many fans do I need?

All suggestions welcome.

Thanks

How it this ssd .. thinking ofSSd 128gb

It is good but go for Samsung 840 EVO 120GB SSD @ 7000 or Samsung 840 PRO 120GB SSD @7500. For the former there is 3 years warranty and for the latter there is 5 years warranty.OK.
Samsung uses a new controller which does not reduce the drive speed over a period of time.

zotac will offer 5 years of warranty if you register the product on their website within 14 days of purchase. also try to get one which has service centre near to your home
