Hello all and thanks in advance for your thoughts on my graphics card decision.
which card would be ideal for my situation?
1) GeForce GTX 550 Ti http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130625
2) GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1gb version http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130604
3) GeForce GTX 560 Ti 2gb version http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130683
4) GeForce GTX 670 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130782
i just dont have a clue as to what will be adequate for my projects or if i would see the benefit from spending $400ish on the 670. Would utilizing the pci 3.0 slot be worth it (for the 670)?
background:
- this will be my first build
- i am not a gamer what so ever
- I am a heavy user of photoshop, illustrator CS5 (everyday basis). I also use after effects and final cut pro on a occasional project for clients (but not every day or very intensively).
the rest of my build will contain (most likely):
- Intel Core i7-3770K
- GA-Z77X-UP5-TH or UP4 (this is a hard one as well!)
- crucial m4 256GB SSD
- 2 TB HHD
- 500 MB HHD
- G5 case with mountain mod mobo tray
- corsair ax650 psu
- corsair vengeance 16gb 1600mhz DDR3 ram
- mountain lion os
- two older dvi apple 23" cinema displays
Thanks so much all!
