But two 780s are 1300$ and a titan is 1000$?

Also doesn't using two graphics cards make it hotter/use more power on the system, and it doesn't really have double the power of just one more like 1.5 the power? I hear going double quite often isn't worth it.

....But 2 Titans are 2000$ and are barely stronger than 2 780s.

2 GPUs are hotter and obviously use more power, the heat is less of a problem if you have a good case + cooling (or a water loop). It's true that it's not really 2x the power, but in most games it's above 1.7x the power. It's also true it's more worth it to get one card.
The thing is, to get above 80FPS in most games at 1440P you need a stronger card than the 780 and there's only 1 card - The Titan, which costs a lot more and you get just about a 5% increase. So since I need more power I simply got 2 780s and tbh that's also not enough, but 3 780s would be overkill for me and the 3rd GPU usually doesn't scale well (about 0-40% increase).

Just finished my new PC build, but am using the same GPU...what are your guys' GPU suggestions?

Current Build:

Case
  +Motherboard
    -CPU
      *Cooler
    -GPU
    -RAM
  +PSU
  +SSHD Hybrid Drive
  +DVD RW/Blueray
Monitor
Keyboard
Speakers
Mouse
OS



I have been considering one of Radeon's R9 series due to excellent price performance ratios, but heard they can get quite loud.  Looking for 3gb+ VRAM

Quick question. If I want to improve the fps of a game should I buy a better GPU or more RAM if both of these suck (Pentium 4 and 1.5 gb of ram)?

Get a better GPU.  They use built in VRAM and will definately boost your fps more than buying just RAM sticks.

Got this on Craigslist for $450, I was saving for a December 1440p/GTX 880 build but couldn't resist.

I'm going to sell the 4670k and upgrade to a 4690k as soon as I can, also going to put an H105 on it so I can OC.

I might upgrade the GPU first because R9 290s are cheap on ebay now so we'll see.

I tried adding my old RAM(8GB) to the system, but it wouldn't post after installation, I thought that 1333Mhz RAM was compatible with 1600Mhz and that the faster RAM would just down clock to match the slower RAM, but whatever.
