What? There are a very few, none are available here and all are super cases, will cost a bomb, plus importing them from overseas will cost say 5k+, drop the idea.

You can mod it, take a cheap case to a welding shop, ask them to weld a metal cage on top of the case that can hold a smps, also take a smps to give them idea about sizes etc.

Any case can be modded, but fitting two psus inside the case can be an issue.

This case can house 2 psus natively, but may cost 15k here, if you want you can buy it.

and jus in the next 6-8months....newer cards will appear making your purchases worthless....3*590=~1.2Lakhs....4*580=~1.1L.....better buy a car or invest in a home or just invest in A FD....will serve u better than the upgrade u r considering...spending so much on an ever changing gaming ecosystem is wasteful imho...

Ok, you are very much confused regarding all this.

You cannot sli more than 2x590 or 3x580 as sli supports upto that only(4x580 possible but with EVGA classified only which has just launched and not even available in USA atm).

So lets say you will SLI 2x590, you can go for Corsair AX1200 safely, or if you buy 3xGTX580 then Silverstone 1500w psu available at primeabgb, 2x590 will be more powerful though.

not now all cards just each every year investment.

New cards i dont think will comes bundled with say directx 12 unless os supports natively. even it comes it will take atleast 2 years to stablize for game developers. Directx 11 itself struggling a lot . Its takes years to comes up with new technology.

So called now new cards supports pcie- 3.0 slots so even board manufactures need to update alot.

Not sure why so fast changes are required. we are achieving in moving to near future whats for?

Is there any desktop that can host 2 cpus.

Let him buy what he wants ;-) and I seriously believe if he can afford a setup like that he can buy the best next gen gpus on launch day as well :cool:

U have a point there....I think then OP should defer the purchase to the launch of new GPUs rather than invest in this generation...

All in all,I still think this is a wasteful expenditure...human eyes cannot perceive more than 24 images/sec....Period...any FPS above 24 is a gimmick...ie,the avg FPS at or around 24 is fine....stuff like 75/100/150 fps is laughable(unless u believe in benches)...

better to invest in other things....

my two cents :)

I agree about the 24FPS part, but some games suffer from microstutter at lower fps and gives a bad headache, I can't perceive the fps but after about 30 min I get a bad headache, fable 3 caused this issue.

Isnt microstutter related to sli/xfire? I mentioned 24fps avg...that should not have caused any issue....but a 10fps slideshow will surely cause a headache...

Nah, in fable three it happens on its own, bad port maybe, maybe its the motion blur, maybe you or an eye specialist can tell the exact reason.

I will try to find out the cause....

For now...chew on this....Human brain works in mysterious ways...the way one can read entire words(just if the starting and ending letters are placed right,rest may be jumbled up)is astonishing...similarly...when we are seeing a moving picture(like a movie or a game)...our brain actually pre empts the next scene(this is still a hypothesis)...if there is too much of a blur...or too much action going on...then fatigue sets in...not becuase its tired...but due to the sheer amount of information thats there to process..and we know that the brain doesnt process information linearly....u do the math :)
