Hello there,
I was wondering what the best option would be for a graphics card setup the budget of course being 1,000. The Titan Black, GTX 780 ti, Dual GTX 780's or Dual GTX 770's?

That also depends on your current system and also your monitor and the resolution you wish to run the cards at. It also depends on if you're going to run more than one monitor.

Dual 780s, for sure. For gaming wouldn't want to waste on a titan/titan black.

Hey mudvari how does the H80i hold up under load on that 3770k OC @4.6GHz, I'm waiting for my H75 (it's shipped) trying to see what kind temps you looking at?

Sorry mate, I should have updated my signature. I don't use H80i anymore, I've updated to H100i couple of months back. But as far as I remember, temps were pretty decent with H80i at 4.6GHz. I might have some screenshots, if you want I could dig the old pics and upload it when I get home.

That's cool man, my 4670k don't OC well, but I plan on get a other one soon, maybe I'll have better luck with it. @4GHz - 1.250v and that's the best it can do, and that's not even 100% stable. but I have the OC protection and I'll get a replacement chip soon.

If you buy games on day one, the GTX 780ti. If you play only aged established games, the dual 780's. Even BF4 is still struggling to get SLI optimized to date.
If you go SLI without water cooling, I would recommend the rear exhaust blower models (reference design).

If you decide to go for dual GTX 780s then wait for the 6GB models as I believe this would be more advantageous for dual monitors and high resolution support.

When deciding on a graphics setup, look at how many total CUDA cores multiplied by the base clock; this is why having a pair of 780 wins out per your budget. With the pair of 780: 4608-cuda at 863MHz for $998 gives you a factor number of 3980 per dollar.Single Titan Black: 2880-cuda at 889Mhz for $999 gives you a factor number of 2563 per dollar. With the pair of 770: 3072-cuda at 1046MHz for $679 gives you a factor number of 4732 per dollar-- mathematical winner (best bang per budget), but 780's are faster. If you got 3-way SLI GTX770's, that could cost just over $1000, but give you the best performance option against a pair of GTX780's.

Depends on your goal. The Titan Black has the vram and the horsepower for next gen, the 780 (ti) has just enough vram though it gets bottlenecked on games such as BF4 and a modded Skyrim due to the amount of vram each game can use. If you can afford it the Titan Black is by far the better card but if money is a issue just get a 780 (ti)...just don't expect to run your games on 1440p and don't expect the 780 ti to last for too long (as the 3gb vram is a fairly major bottleneck that will only get worse over time-considering its the beginning of next gen and games are already using 2-3gb of vram).
