title says it all. I'm looking for the top five best GPU's for an Intel core i5. I'm fine with any PSU upgrades to support any recommendations, BTW I do a lot of gaming (like mine craft and Gmod.) and audio editing (FL studios, abelton.) help plz :~]
anything from a 750 to a titan from a 260x to a 295x2
Whatever the most powerful GPU you can afford is.
R9 290 and GTX 970 are the first t spring to mind. If you're looking at 4k the 290 or 290x will be better, but fr 1080p the 970 is better but also more expensive.
just the best ( i could care less about "price")
in the future, i could upgrade to a 4k monitor BUT I could. that doesn't mean i will
well, if you want the best of the best for 1080 it's probely a 980, a little bit over kill but whatever, if you want someting that can handle 4k decent get a 290x or maybe even a 295x2. Though keep in mind that 980 draws a lot less power, so PSU upgrade wont be needed, and you'll save a bit of money on the power bill over the AMD side, They'll also run much much cooler. But for 4k AMD is the king.
The power supply I'm getting is a corsair cx 600w. Will it be stong enough to support both cards?
600W will be plenty for a 980 or a 290X but not a 295X2 which is a dual GPU card.
I was looking at the sapphire Vapor X,

And I was very interested in getting it when it came out but I had no use for it At the time. Would this card be alrigut?
If money is no object Quad GTX 980 will be it
Or wait and get quad 390x/980 Ti (or whatever the GM 200 chip is called)
So much power.lol I only need one GPU cuz im doing a mini ITX build and the asus maximus VI impact only has one slot soooo. Go figure

Basicly for an haswell i5 any gpu would be fine.
I made one small change to your build which was a solid build except for the SSD ..., the kingston SSDnow is very slow ... this Adata SX-900 SSD is much faster and only $10 more

And the review for the drive

Thx for the recommendations, i just want the best, I don't want to upgrade or anything like that in the future.
I recommend a 970 I have the ssc one and it's an absolute Beast.
Well then i would wait for the R9-390X
Yeah, but how much will that be?
Sounds like something exspensive, (not to mention the R9 290X2) either way, both are overkill for the build I want to do, I was thinking about dropping the R9 290 and the 4K monitor for the GTX 980 and a dual monitor setup, not sure about this yet, the dual monitor setup is nice to have BUT I'm passing up a 4K monitor
4k is really pointless at this time imo.
