Quote from: LooN3y on May 09, 2012, 11:07:41 AMIf I got dual gtx 680s wouldn't that prevent me from upgrading my video card for a while? I usually don't upgrade my computer till it gets pretty laggy on medium settingsAs for the solid state, I'm getting it, before SSD the hard drive disk was one of the bottlenecks, plus I can use it for work, because I use multiple virtual machines for work.And the blu ray burner I'm gonna either rip the ones I have, or burn the ones I've downloadedI'm getting a 512 SSD so I prob run out of space that quick, and all my data is gonna be on my reg hardrive,But I am wondering about the videocard, would one non liquid cooling video card last long as a dual liquid cooling video card? I really don't plan to upgrade till 5-8 years later if I get mY buildOf course if you want the best of the best and don't mind spending the money, you should go for the dual cards and SSD. But if you are asking if those are necessary for a good gaming PC, then no they are not. You will spend a lot of money for a little extra imo.By the way, as for upgrading your video card: buying dual video cards won't prevent you from upgrading in the long run. At least not if you want to play the newest games for 8 years. Not so much because of a lack of power, but because of new DirectX versions which your card won't support etc. And in the coming couple of years you will just have an overkill with the two cards. In any case i'd save the money from one card to buy a new one in four years.

i don't know i always wanted liquid cooling since i was a kid, cuz it just looks cool.
you are considering building a new computer for gaming, and you are asking other people to see if it is worth it for you or not?were you mexican?
