Scalded Dog! - Ultimate Game Rig

[Crackkkkkk]

GTX 580 vid card.... nuff said.

When this computer fries, I want to have the best gaming rig available and yes, I can afford it (up to $5000 anyways). I want it to be a beast! A Scalded Dog! A Screaming Banshee!

What do you 'super gaming pros' suggest? I will write down your answers.

Now.... another question..... as Im not that computer saavy.... Is the video cable from the PC to the monitor all standard for all PC's?

Thanks! ~ Crackkkkkk

The video cable coming from your Motherboard/Graphics card(s) could be one of many types, likely D-Sub or DVI, but to answer your question, yes most cables(HDMI,DisplayPort,DVI-A,DVI-I,D-Sub, ETC) are 'cross compatible' with the card as long as your MONITOR has the same Connection(IE: Your GTX 980 has a DisplayPort Connection, as long as you have a monitor with a DisplayPort Connection, it will work fine)

Up to $5,000?

Thanks for the video cable info. I am thinking mine has developed something loose as my monitor will not display a thing when I fire up my computer.

$5000
So from what I gather... that is two TITAN X video cards linked together. Is that good? I suppose a computer shop could assemble it for me?

Titan X's are the current best gaming video cards on the market, with EVGA's Hybrid version being a little better (My opinion) since they are water cooled AIO solutions with no hassle. Putting those in SLI would be a little tricky since each would have its own radiator (Plus a liquid cooler for the CPU), but with a full size tower, you may be able to do it. You really couldn't go wrong with 2 Titan X's in SLI, and it would most definitely future proof you for years to come.

Ok so i got your cooling sorted, want to run your CPU at -10c under full load?? (yes -10c!!)

Thats inpractical, I know its a joke though :) Plus, the cooling performance wouldnt be linear

My monitor has finally refused to come 'ON' so I've ordered an LG 34UM67 to replace it. It is 1080p at 60 to 75 HZ and a latency of 5 ms, so not bad for a wide screen. It had very favorable reviews. Hopefully, it will arrive from California sometime this week. Until then, no gaming for me. Maybe the grass will get cut. LOL Id like to give a special shoutout to Grady for his help and for putting together a computer package for me that will save some money and still be a gaming beast. You went the extra mile in helping, Grady! Thank you! -------------- Crackkkkkk
