Which gpu did you buy?

High vram is only necessary if you're playing on more than 2 monitors (1GB vram per monitor). I was implying in terms of performance output, 2 x 270x ($420) = 1 x 290x ($620). You're also forgetting that other manufacturers create their own "version" whether it be stock overclock, extra fan(s)/liquid cooling, aesthetics, or by adding in additional vram (Gigabyte made a 270x version with 4gb of vram) etc. Besides, the 270x is the best price for performance even though it's based off of last gen technology.

Tbh, Im still deciding between 270x or gtx 760 and possibly dual, tri, or quad?! crossfire/sli it in the future. But then again, if you're going multi gpu, it would be better if you just bought a gtx 780 from the start as single gpu is always the best. (avoiding conflicts in sli/crossfire)

I probably didn't need to quote the entire post, but, I did anyway. I don't mean to sound condescending, so please don't take it that, you've made a really nice build.
Keep in mind with crossfire, that some games do not support it, and some perform worse with it than they would on just a single card. Granted the games with lacking support are probably old games, but if you want to play older games you may run into issues.

I bought a GTX780, I also run dual 2560x1440 displays. My VRAM usage idles around 2 - 5%, which is like 60 - 150MB. I usually don't exactly idle though, so it sits around 25 - 30%, it depends what I'm doing, I usually leave a bunch of shit open that I don't need.

Well, I got distracted while typing this, I think I was trying to make a point, not sure if I made it or not. Oh well.

Being able to assemble PC parts is a very narrow definition of smart.

Of course, you'd know that if you were actually smart.

I'll probably still go for a 270x as i'd like to keep the price as low as possible. Besides, i'll most likely be using only a single 1080p display so crossfire isnt really necessary.

Just attach everything to the mobo and if you're still having trouble just youtube or google it

I'm sure it isn't hard, I was just pointing out that he ironically has a stupid definition of smart.

I actually don't know. T_T

Ray just letting you know don't get AMD Cards trust me on this one I had a R9 280x for 6 months it sucked so bad driver support was terrible Mantle was broken and still is. There optimization is terrible I had to switch back to my gtx 660ti and I still had better performance just stick with Nvidia.

I really doubt it's that bad considering it's based off of last gen 7970.
