Nope. 1 solid card can liao. Gtx770 r9 280x and above.

Anything lower can support high without msaa

Msi r9 280x 3gb twin frozr ~$479

I think 280x price just bumped up closer to GTX770. $499+/- vs $506 2GB variant.

The only problem is the gpu will be hot & noisy if running at full load since it ref cooler.

 

[jtoyyg]

So meaning the first build would be better ?
I don't mind noise that much, only for results ~
