Gaming PC to 3D Gaming PC! Need Advice!

xXxBREAKERxXx · Nov 1, 2011

Hi all again. After i built my last pc i wasn't active here :eek:

So now i wan't to Update my PC to 3D Gaming PC. And i realy need your Advice.
So the first question:
3D gaming is not cheap one.
1. So is it worth it ?
So what i wan't is to sell my old parts on ebay. And make new pc.
So for now is my prediction for my Build.
2x GTX 580 ASUS MATRIX (will it be enought?(i read a lot and ATI VGA's not supporting 3D ?((fail or not ?)))
i7 - 2600 (or 2700 is there a difference??? there is no price difference )
Best motherboard till now for the sock 1155. And not only how it looks ! The best i mean Power!
Power Supply 750w Will enought??
I have 8gb DDR3 2000 mhz (do i need more ?)
2 xHDD ((WD caviar black) and SSD 120gb)
2. The biggest problem i found in 3D that is hard to choose monitor
So which monitor is the best out there ??? (not more the 500€)

I suggest you at least find a place to try 3D gaming before spending money on it. I've tried it and would I spend money on it? Not a chance. It's up to you though.

Actualy i was in MediaMarkt. And there was ASUS 3D Notebook. So i did the test for 3d (there was only pictures gaming and etc...)
And i loved it actualy. Don't have friends with 3D Systems ..

So is it worth it? Yes!

2x GTX 580 ASUS MATRIX (will it be enought?) Yes!

Best motherboard till now for the sock 1155? Maximus IV Extreme-Z

Power Supply 750w Will enought?? Nope!! Corsair AX850/HX1050

I have 8gb DDR3 2000 mhz (do i need more?) Nope

So which monitor is the best out there ??? (not more the 500€) Acer GD235HZ [350€]

So 850 w will be enought ? Then i think Dark Power Pro Gold* p9 850w be quiet will be better
Acer monitor? I don't like it. And it have average points on review's. There is nothing better then that ?

Go for Samsung, if not for Acer.

What about ASUS VG278H not much reviews there or Acer HN274Hbmiiid.

the adoption rate is really low and a couple companies are working on glasses free 3D televisions. Sony just announced they will no longer be providing free 3D glasses to movie theaters starting next May. Samsung is going to unveil the first 55" OLED television at CES.

I don't think it's a good time.

Waiting will kill me

I do understand that i need to wait. But still.

Guru3D peaked to 719W from the plug while running FurMark...

http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-580-sli-review/14

on a WC'ed system with CCFL lights and an OC'ed i7 920 as well. Now that 719W is the AC power, it needs to be converted to DC - to get to the number pulled from inside of the PSU. Their PSU should be around %85 efficient, which would turn in about 625W. Also, we need to take off an another 50W since their setup is more intensive than yours = 575W. About 550-600W in other words.

So yes, 850W is sufficient. Add that Be Quiet DPP is a great unit I'd suggest. IIRC, it's made by 3Y, who made the best of OCZ units (ProXStream) in the past.

Thank you for suggestion. PSU is Antec 1200watt
