May I ask why such a powerful PSU? Also, why are you getting an i7 for gaming?

There's a sale on the PSU: Newegg Rosewill Capstone-750-M. That's probably why. As for i7, OP'll need to say because I could just say: "Why the hell not, OP has the money".

Or he could just save more money and get this:

That works too. It'd be nice if the build was PCPartPicker-fied.

some games use the extra cores, and its not a huge difference in price. but yes, i bought a i5

LOL nothing is over kill for gaming below Titan Z , NEVER nerf the GPU.. the 780Ti is WAY better than the 290...

the 750W psu allows for SLI in the future

if he has the money for a 780 and i7 why would you suggest something slower?

DoubleY · May 20, 2014

Because just because you can afford something, doesn't mean it's a logical purchase.

Any suggestion and advice ?

I would change a few things:

* Get an i5 instead of an i7 (if it's for gaming)

* Also maybe add more ram so you can get 16GB instead.

* Upgrade SSD from 120GB to 240GB (I have 3 ssd's of 120GB each and still want more)

* Also the Price to performance in the GTX 780 Ti is slightly worse of the GTX 780, so i would maybe gotten the GTX 780 and if that's not enough add another 780 later

That's just me though, some of these are just things that i would have done. I still think you would love to game with this build

i7 does nothing for gaming. Waste of money.

780Ti is awful value, and a R9 290X > GTX 780, the 290X is currently on sale for below $500, better performance and better price than the 780. Currently.

What is your budget?

10 more fps can be quite a lot seeing at the difference between 50 and 60 is worth noting, also in the end the extra cuda cores are always useful, even if the value isnt as good

Well, not quite

AFAIK, any game you throw at the whole 290X vs GTX 780 will pretty much trade blows.

Besides, you can get a GTX 780 for $460 after rebate http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125471&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

Budget $1800 location malaysia. I get an i7 and 780 ti because i love high end. I thinkin that CM PSU are worst.. maybe i will go for seasonic brand for PSU

290X is beating the 780(non-Ti) in everything except ARMA III.

You can't go wrong with either 290X or 780, but can we agree that just because you have the money for a 780Ti doesn't change the fact that it is bad value.

If all you are doing is gaming get an i5 and a 290/780 and save 300$ and loose 10fps
