Hello everyone,
I am currently in the process of making a new build and I am moving away from the AMD side (see sig). Here is what I have purchased so far:
Corsair 800D Full Tower Case
ASUS p8P67 WS Revolution LGA 1155
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz
Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 1600 RAM
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold Series 1000W
WD 2TB 7200 RPM HDD
WD 500GB 7200 RPM HDD
I am planning to watercool the heck out of this system with dual loops (1 for CPU, 1 for GPU)
As I said before, this will be my first Intel/nVIDIA build so I need some help choosing a graphics card.
My three choices so far are:
1)EVGA GeForce GTX 580
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130587
2)EVGA GTX 590 CLASSIFIED Limited Edition
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130630&Tpk=EVGA 590
3) EVGA GeForce GTX 580 FTW Hydro Copper (the only reason this is an option is to bypass trouble of remounting waterblock on gpu and such)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681413060
Any pros/cons of the three would be greatly appreciated. I plan to do some generous OC'ing to whatever I get. Money is not a deciding factor ( to a point) so any type of SLi config could be considered also. Looking forward to your inputs.
Thanks
