Well, since the pledge drive is almost over (but feel free to hit the tip jar, if you like) and I can pretty much start to spec out what I’m going to be able to go with, I’m hung up on the video card. Basically, this:
[+$230.00] AMD Radeon R9 280 3GB Video Card (Require Min. 600W Power Supply)
[+$444.00] AMD Radeon R9 290 4GB Video Card (Require Min. 600W Power Supply)
Obviously, I see that the 290 has better performance than the 280 (and Witcher 3 recommends the 290, although people are blanching at that). But is it really worth the extra $200? Will I even notice?
What will you be using for a display? Gaming at 1080p takes rather less of a video card than at 4K.
Haven’t even gotten to the monitor, yet. I figure I can save up and buy one later: one that can take advantage of the AMD Radeon R9 280.
