Remember that this site is mainly focused on console gaming, I feel this site is mostly playstation dominant from what I've been following the past few years. Lot of people also aren't very computer savvy so naturally the choice to recommend is the console. I highly doubt any games are going to be crossplay, it's not a good idea to mix two platforms. One side usually ends up with some control scheme handicap. I really think getting a great GPU especially AMD GPU now is a good bet, even if mantle doesn't pan out as it's expected. You would still have a very very powerful GPU for 1080p gaming. You will also have the whole PC library to play on. Consoles will just get more games as time passes by and u will ahve lot more potential games to buy for cheaper later on. Though wish we knew what ur mobo is, would see exactly what it's capable of. I think it might have atleast PCI-E 2.0 x16 cause it comes with an i7. :) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883107989 this one ur setup? It comes with some same parts also would be DDR3 capable and it will come with 2x PCI-E 2.0 x16 which means crossfiring works great :) Though having other card on a 4x/8x isnt gonna hold u back by much especially if u aren't playing on a 120hz monitor, ur not gonna even see the difference. |
Yeah I'm pretty sure I bought a model very similar to that. I custom ordered mine on HP's website through my companies corporate discount site. But that seems to be spot on as far as specs go. The monitor i'm using is here. if I do get a new GPU between $300-500 and i'm sacraficing the fact I won't be able to play on my 50' TV and co-operatively with my friends (at least until I purchased a PS4 which wouldprobably be at least a year out) I want to make sure the GPU I get is going to make my games look noticebly better then PS4 games, futureproof myself you could say.
