That is a VERY solid setup. The i5 is plenty for gaming, the 780ti is next to the r9 290X the best choice, I would not go for CF or SLI. If you want your high FPS-count, you will have to go for CF/SLI though. So maybe get a R9 295X"2? It does not have the heat problems, that other CF or SLI setups have, unless you want to watercool your system.

 

Only things I would change are the CPU cooler, if you are on a budget that high, go for something like a NH-D14 or A Dark Rock Pro2.

And the RAM could be a little faster, some games actually do have higher FPS due to faster RAM. The price difference should not be too much.

This is quite rich but you won't be getting <70 fps in Crysis 3 at ultra. It may peak at that but you should expect even with a $900 video card you won't be maxing Crysis 3 out at <70 fps.

How much will the r9 295x2 cost

[Pelop17]

How much will the r9 295x2 cost

is 1500$ is expensive but is good

[mapegl]

It should be in your budget, watch Linus' vid on this card concerning performance, and the thing I like the most: It works in an SFF-case.

[Megazero]

Yes the r9 295x2 is THE beast, but if you are only going to game on 1080p then it's a pointless overkill. So with that much budget and if you are still insist on 1080p gaming, a 780Ti should be more than enough, so something like this is fine for you.

If you insist on going with the 1500$ r9 295x2, I can rearrange my build for you to stay in 2500$ budget, but like I said it dont worth it, you better spend your money on more storage or other stuff than on the GPU for 1080p gaming, OR you can spend ~700$ more for a 4k monitors or those sexy 21:9 monitors that will truly draw the worth of the r9 295x2.

The case is good + small + have handle so it's easy to carry around. The problem is that for the H100i and 780Ti to be install in that case you may have to remove a drive bay, for better airflow, and even then the case is pretty cram up. It should still be fine, look kinda ugly when you open the case, but you wont be doing that much. You can check a build using the BitFenix Prodigy M here to see how it will kinda look like in the end.

Thats a itx case not a matx in the vid

Thats a itx case not a matx in the vid

It's Micro ATX~ It's the same one I choose in the build, just different color. Idk why those ppl label it as ITX though. I think their motherboard on the otherhand is itx but I'm not sure, since I've seen other Prodigy build that have the 780 taking up 1 of the hard drive bay space, it's look something like this

And like I said, it's only to give you an idea how cram up the case will be, ofc your build with look a bit different.

What I mean by overkill PSU is more like you shouldnt spend that much money just on a PSU,I'm pretty sure even a 900-1000W PSU should cost around 100-150$ at most normally, more than that is just absurd.

BUt really? 855w? normally a system with only 1 GPU shouldnt need that much

Even only for the OS, you will usually save stuff like picture, some dump file for OS etc, so 120 is still a better choice.
