I can't speak for him, but I was originally going to grab the 790, but looking at it, realistically, I'd probably be better off picking up two Titans and keeping the rest of my parts (32GB RAM, i7 3970X). I would only upgrade my PSU (1500W), in regards to future proofing, but two Titans would hold me over for a long while.


Won't 3 680's perform better and be cheaper as well? Same with the 7970. Extra cash saved could go into water blocks and blamo, killer clocks. 


3 X 680s run in the memory limit issues as well bus bandwith issues and don't really make much sense unless for some strange reason you want a lot of frames per second on a single 1080p display and love to see screen tearing.

As soon as you go multi-monitor, more than 2 680s don't do you any service. The extra processing power you would use for more AA is bottlenecked by memory and bandwidth limits. 

Overclocked 7970 in 3 way crossfire however...that is something that could do some heavy damage for years to come.
