Care to share some of your planned specs?


I'm going with 16GB of DDR4 for memory, likely an i7-5820K (the 5930K is twice as costly and I won't be needing the extra 12 PCIe lanes, performance is more than good enough with the 5820K as well). I was thinking of getting a GTX 980 for graphics, not decided on which version but if the recent rumors from AMD are anywhere near true; I'd be a fool not to consider them, despite the likelihood of more noise, higher wattage and some driver issues from time to time, great performance at a fair price is something to be valued greatly and I've never had reliability issues with my AMD cards either (they even overclock pretty well since the 1900 series). I will not be running SLI or Crossfire; too many issues and it would require the more costly CPU and expensive motherboard and bring the total up by at least 50-60% when counting a second GPU.

I also want a new display, been wanting a 1440p, 32" one for some time but there is no sense in getting it before I have the horsepower to utilize it. My plan is to be ready for The Witcher 3 at ultra with great FPS, I imagine my life will be complete then...

 

Ah, I see. All great components! Do you have an estimated cost yet, or are there still build plans that impede with final estimations?

Acer, Samsung or BenQ?

^If that add is real, then I think AMD knows it will be top dog soon.  In fact I am going to do something that few do on VGchartz:  Make a PC prediction:

-390X will be 15-25% stronger than the Titan X, and therefore 5-10% stronger than even the soon to be released GTX 985 Ti.

-The 4GB version will launch between $600-$700, and the 8GB versions will be $800-$1000.

-There will be both AIO-Liquid cooling and Standard air-cooling options.  Obvious the AIO versions will be $50 more than their cheaper counterparts

-The card will launch before July, and it will be the strongest (Non-duel) GPU for around a year or even longer depending on how desperate Nvidia is to not have the weaker products.

 

Very exciting to see who "Wins" 28nm in performance this summer.  Thoughts?

GTX 985 Ti? wut

OnlyForDisplay; it depends, but somewhere in the region of 2000$ is likely. That's without the display though. I've been hoping for RAM and SSD's to go down in price a little bit before summer though; I'm considering buying a slightly slower SSD for games and a small, faster one for OS and system processes, it'll be cheaper than buying one large and fast one.

JEMC; basically down to these two:

https://www.komplett.se/benq-27-led-gw2765ht/822893

BenQ has a lower price, response time is pretty much the same (1ms difference won't kill me either way), I've had two Samsung displays (sitting on one now) and really loved them and they have great colors and contrast, plus fantastic viewing angle, I have no experience with BenQ at all. I'll have to read up some more and go to an actual demo to make up my mind, buying a display that costs that much is a pretty big decision!

Wish I never bought my AMD card. Got it for a great deal though, r9 280 and its better than a 760 spec wise which is why I bought it. Just artifacts randomly. Maybe due to older mobo though, not sure but I'm pretty sure its AMD's bad drivers.

But competition is always good.

AMD has trouble with drivers when it comes to certain types of shader effects, is what I've heard. I had issues with both my 1950XTX and my current 6950HD, there are also compatability issues with semi-old releases at times, especially engines made for DX9.0.

Here's a review of the BenQ one: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/benq_gw2765ht.htm

If you're interested, BenQ has a 32" 1440p monitor with a VA panel instead of IPS (so it's like the Samsung you've listed) that is quite good... but it's also more expensive, it's the BL3200PT https://www.komplett.se/benq-32-led-bl3200pt/811306.

If you want to know more of it, here is a review : http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/benq_bl3200pt.htm and here a forum discussing the monitor with quite a few comments (some off-topic): http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1803982

Even an i7 4770k would adequately feed 2/3 graphics cards, with SLI your CPU would definitely NOT be a bottleneck. Motherboard is an iffy one but motherboard doesn't really affect game performance tests show.
