Posted April 18, 2015 Author I thought you were getting the 970... No, I decided to go with the 290 because the i7 offers much better performance and just sacrifices just a little bit of performance on the GPU. we already went through this build on another post to I only compared the GPU's and CPU's. This is the current build i'm planning on. 01101110 01101111 00100000 01101111 01101110 01100101 00100000 01101100 01101111 01110110 01100101 01110011 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 Main Rig: i7-4790K | Corsair H100i | Asus Z97 | 16GB Ripjaws | 4TB WD Black/512GB SSD | x2 R9 290x | NZXT H440 | HX1000i | 6 Noctuas [spoiler=SILENT BUILD] Silent build: i5-4460, Be Quiet!

Posted April 18, 2015 Hello again Cheese Tartz! It's great to see you took my advice and went with the 290! You'll need 750W though considering how much of a power hungry beast the 290 is. In my country be quiet! isn't available so I''ll just play go with your decision and keep it on the list. Everything else is good, are you sure everything is color matched correctly? I know the Tri-X cooler is yellow/orange so you may want to rethink some things. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/9N3NFT My Buyer’s Guide!
