My brother's APU based system (A6 5600K, 4GB 1866 RAM, onboard graphics) can play WoW on max settings...
Also, please use proper punctuation. I had to re-read "Wow won't be max'ed out you must be clueless to come up with this." a few times just to understand you. Same with "Don't respond can't be arsed arguing with people who have no basic understanding of hardware."

Hmmm.... Go play chess then? No one said you had play video games... lol
I really don't see how it could. Haswell has a higher IPC than Ivy Bridge (ex: 4930k) and having 6 cores and 12 threads that are running effectively slower on software that (for the most part) can't effectively use that many threads. There's no problem with the PCIe 3.0 x16 because that has loads more bandwidth than that 295x2 could soak up. Show us some benchmarks in a game that isn't based off some terrible engine. Sure, maybe if you were running 20 instances of goat simulator that all have the goat bouncing around the map you just might be able to CPU bound the 295x2...
In a nutshell, if it's a decent game with an optimized engine AND crossfire profiles, it's not going to be CPU bound. Period.

winningsince1337 got a reaction from ShadowCaptain in ASUS GTX 760 Mars or GTX 770
The 760 Mars has 2 GTX 760 GPU's on one PCB. While it will provide much better performance than a 770, it does cost a great deal more. But, because it has 2 GPUs you'll be at the mercy of driver support to get proper scaling. In a nutshell, if you can can afford the Mars 760, spend a few bucks more and get a 780 ti. It'll provide better, smoother, and more reliable preformance.

The case is just a suggestion if interested.
The 212 Evo is good.

The R9 290 will give you more bang for your buck as it performs as well or better than a 780 for a notably lower cost. If you're solely comparing reference cards, the 780 wins hands down as the R9 290 is pretty loud and hot. (I have one and can attest to this). However, aftermarket cards solve this problem. In a nutshell, the 290 will do the same job just as well or better due to the higher onboard GDDR5 buffer (4gb vs the 3gb of the 780). If it were me, I'd still pick an R9 290. But, the 780 is a bit more refined.
EDIT: made a mistake on the vram
