Getting new pc and equipment. Opinions?

Just to add to what I said, I have the exact same setup (it seems to be one of the most popular combinations on the AMD side), and even on ultra settings, the framerate can usually hit or surpass 60.

If you're willing to spend a bit more money, you can also get either an R9 280x or a GTX 770.

Majority of single cards won't be able to run games at 144 fps on maxed out settings. OP would need to SLI eventually. However, I genuinely have no idea why someone cares so much about FPS above 60... 60 and 120 already look extremely similar, I imagine 144 is just overkill. As long as you're able to sustain 60 fps, you do not need more fps to have a fluid gaming experience.

If the OP wants ShadowPlay, PhysX, and the ability to stream to a Shield, that could be a great card.

If not, the 7950 has a larger memory interface, meaning that it'll be bogged down a bit less by ultra high res textures and/or large amounts of post-processing. Mantle also has the potential to make the 7950 significantly better in the games which will support it, so it may be worthwhile to go AMD just in case that's successful.

This... If OP really wants high fps, go for a 120 Hz monitor, you won't see a difference when compared to 144 Hz. Unless you plan on playing in 3D (which you haven't mentioned). Using the extra money to get a 7970 would be a better choice imo.

No offense, but OP, please ignore this person. Getting a 280x instead of a 7950 is fine, but it's just a more expensive, more powerful card. There's no massive advantage that can justify the extra $50-75, aside from the expected performance increase.

As far as the CPU goes, never underestimate the importance of a good processor. Every game has a max framerate for a CPU, which normally isn't noticeable, because there's a GPU bottleneck anyways. However, the less powerful your CPU is, the lower that framerate is, and the sooner you'll run into games where, no matter what graphics settings you use, you can't get the FPS to a good level.

Sadly, that monitor isn't 120hz. If it was, that'd be an insanely great price!

Nowadays people are hyping overclockable Korean 27" monitors with 2560x1440 resolution. Overclocking a monitor means increasing the refresh rate and people have been getting at least 96Hz and some monitors even go above 120Hz. They go for about $350 including shipping, which is a bargain for that kind of monitor. Downsides are the build quality of the housing (panels are the same as the ones used in more expensive monitors) and very limited warranty or none at all.

Please I just need clarification on this and then i can close the thread

Look,the difference between 60 fps (60 hz) and 120 fps (120hz) is day and night the latter looks much,much better and to be honest i preffer fluidity and picture and movement sharpness than colours,and also i am playing pc games here,from the chair not a couch so viewing angle isn't a problem for me.

LMAO a tablet replacing a console. Those are two very different ball parks my friend. A tablet will never replace a feature rich living room experience, ever. The tablet is trying to replace the notebook if anything and it hasn't. it's just making room for itself.

And as far as you thinking nvidia has nothing comparable to the 7950, a 670 is the same price +/- a couple bucks. With higher performance. LinusTechTips has always benched the 7970 against the gtx 670 because they were closest in price and the 7970 is a tier higher. Prices on the 670 have gone down to 7950 levels and it can't compete.

Please don't try and spread word that is false.

I can't recommend the 290x to anyone until someone puts an aftermarket cooler on that thing. This is why.

Unfortunately for you, the R9 290X can beat the 780, but can't when you actually buy it.
The reason? The stock cooler unit on it can't cool the card fast enough even with normal use, thus slowing down the clock speed. On the other hand, the GTX 780 has a good stock cooler, thus is able to beat the R9 290X practically.

I highly doubt you know what you are saying here. The Titan is not meant for gaming, and it never will. Also, AMD's CrossFire is still not as good as Nvidia's SLI.

Uh, they kinda do have a response. The GTX 780 Ti will probably release within the next six months. Also, tablets can't surpass consoles when it comes to gaming experience yet. The experience probably won't translate back to the desktop PCs.
