both the lightning and the acc should fit, both good cards. I think the windforce edition is a little bit longer though.

yeah the EVGA classified version literally has a higher core clock than the Asus card's highest boost clock. Also, evga's cooler is much quieter.

The 780 Classified from EVGA is better than their super clocked version. I'd go with that one.

They don't seem bad from what I've heard.... but for the same price you could get a Blackwidow Ultimate from Razer. You CAN'T go wrong with those. http://www.razerzone.com/store/razer-blackwidow-ultimate

Thats pretty fast. Thanks for the help. Last question, where do you live?

So what was that, like 5 days or so??

Haha love it. Thanks.

thats sick. you ordered yours off of their site? Thanks for the help

http://www.phanteksusa.com/products/phanteks-enthoo-pro so this isn't true?

Yeah... I saw that. I read up and that means that Its either on back-order or not out yet. Phantek's actual site says you can buy it now, but I'm not so sure.

Does anyone on Linus here know when the Enthoo Pro is coming out? I'm really looking foreword to it. Thanks

Sorry..... Rookie mistake hah.

Yeah, the AX860 should be plenty for SLI-ing two 290x's. A little boost from the 760W to the 860W will make a difference later in the system's life. Also.... I would totally go with the H110 or the H100i. They are both fantastic coolers.

It seems like a lot of you are telling me to stray from the PSU that I have..... I might do that. The EVGA one looks pretty nice imo.

Seriously? I've heard that the H440 heats up like mad due to the air suffocation from the front. I would definitely go for the 760t. Also it depends on whether you want to build in a full ATX or a mid tower.

If this is your first build, then I would totally stick with the Corsair 760t. It will give you tons of room from great cable management, and make your first build a breeze. I would also upgrade your Power supply... maybe to a Corsair AX 860? I just don't want to see the power supply holding back this beast of a rig

If you don't need peripherals, I'd use the rest of that money to SLI the 780 Ti's. You definitely a large enough power supply to do that.

Looks really great actually. A thought though..... You could always downgrade from that i7 to an i5 4670k (If you're only looking for gaming, they perform about the same!) and use the extra money to upgrade to a 780 Ti. Then you can overclock the CPU with that beautiful H100i.

I would strongly recommend changing that CPU cooler to a Corsair H100i. That thing is one hell of an overclocker, and only 10 bucks more than the one you have in there. Also, what happened to the 760T? Thought you were building in that one.

I would strongly recommend changing that CPU cooler to a Corsair H100i, if you can afford it in your build. Its one hell of an overclocker.

Noob question but, is Gsync Nvidia's version of Mantle?

What are your thoughts on things such as G-Sync and Direct X and GameStream etc? Not worth the extra 100?

So you guys think the R9 290 is the way to go instead of the GTX 780? The R9 is cheaper, so that could cut 100 off my price point.

Is the Asus aftermarket cooler sufficient enough to cool the R9 290? I've heard its had serious overheat problems, and I'd rather not deal with that. I want this to last me through college.

Great Builds Actually, couple of things though: I'm planning on not buying a cpu cooler right now, because my birthday is in September and I'll be getting one of the new intel chips along with an h100i. I like the SSD and the HD in the last build better than what I have right now though. Would you agree that it's kinda pointless to have a hybrid drive if you already have an SSD that you are going to install? That would cut a solid 40 bucks off my price tag. Also I want to build with a full ATX tower. It will make it easier for my first build
