Here you go Nvidiabro, this should give you a boner. Titan Z, $3000.... 12GB memory, 2 kepler cores, 5,760 processing cores. A 4K or multi screen dream card.

I don't see how anyoneneedsSLI Titan's, but to those of you who "do" there's another one;
5,760 CUDA cores, 12GB memory and prolly causes a $250 bump in electricity for the year.

The only reason you wouldneedSLI Titans right now is if you are doing 4K gaming. Otherwise you're just stroking your epeen that you can get 300FPS in the game of your choice, which in practical use does absolutely nothing for you.
The dumbest part about spending 3 grand on a video card is that in a couple years it'll still be obsolete because it doesn't support directX 12 or whatever other features are the norm at that point.
Honestly, I'd never spend over $500-$600 for a video card, after that price point you're just pushing so far into diminishing returns on your money it isn't even funny. Worst I ever did was spend $800 on Dual/SLI 12MB Voodoo 2s back in the day. What a damn waste. They were obsolete in 2 years.

Ya, I used to always buy one down from the best every other generation. Unfortunately I got into surround display gaming and that just isn't possible for me anymore. I limit my GPU spending to about $1k though - although now I normally have to do it every generation.

One 780 does okay at 3x1080 if you don't use any AA at all, ever and are okay with turning some shit down depending on the title. BF4 is a complete bitch to run, even with 780 SLi. I can finally play it with everything on ultra but I can't use adaptive vsync and I still can't use MSAA. Sucks lol.

Yeah, the roughly ~$300 sweet spot for video cards has never really been able to run the newest games on ultra settings at 60FPS, regardless of what year/generation of cards we are on.
A $300 card is going to get you ultra settings at 30FPS, or medium to high settings at 60FPS. To get 60+FPS on ultra settings on brand new games you've always had to spend up in the $500+ range to get there. Some people think it's worth doubling the cost of your video card for that step up from high to ultra at 60FPS, but a lot of people don't think that much more money is worth that small bump in graphical quality. Thus the ~$300 "sweet spot" for price vs performance. You're always making some sort of sacrifice at $300.

My BF4 runs at high settings, at 70-90 FPS with my 280X slightly OCed at 1080p. I could probably push some settings to ultra and still maintain 60FPS easy, so its not like a $300 card will only get you medium. You are selling the cards a bit short.
But you are running the 1440p which is an entirely different monster.

Decent? I'm still running a 64GB SSD from like 3-4 years ago, so have been looking around to upgrade(Though I am going to despise a complete re installation of all my stuff).
Its 139.99 with a coupon code.

Well pulled the trigger. Its a little above middle of the pack on the SSD chart, which is fine for me and all the reviews were good.
Just going to do a new windows install on it. Not sure if I will keep my 64gb plugged in or not. It really only had room for 1 game + windows and other stuff(like games making files in my documents).
Anyway to move bookmarks and such over to a new install? Figure I will just install drivers all over again and then just let programs that I run from Storage drive recreate all the things it needs to on the C: drive.

Worked great on my laptop in going from a regular HD to a SSD. And yes I know that's not an optimum solution, but I'm fucking lazy okay?
