Games take up a lot of space maybe go for a 128/256GB SSd and pair that with a 1/2TB Hybrid Drive? Platinum RAM is a little overkill but yo choice man (you also probably won't utilize the full 16GB).

2000$ is the tower only right? 

 

Your build is pretty good because of the top-tier components, but it can be better, I'll tweak the build a bit

Looks pretty decent but the 2133MHz RAM is somewhat overkill. And if you plan on going 1080p surround (for gaming) than a 290X would be a better option. 

And only a 500GB SSD probably won't be enough, a 1TB HDD is recommended for large files such as video content or a plethora of games and music.

If you're going to be gaming and programming i would recommend get a HDD. A 1TB one would be good.

Yes i did not mention the HDD because i take it from my old Rig. (I will edit that.)

On second thought, maybe 4790K is enough, anyway great build if you can afford it

Try to consider my build. I don't think you don't need a 780T and 16GB of RAM. Also I've lowered your ssd capacity and added a 3TB HDD. Swapped out your mobo for a gaming one and swapped out the RAM and GPU to match the color theme. It's on crossfire and it's pretty overkill.

If you are planning on gaming with eyefinity the single 290 won't be enough power.  2x290s will be very beneficial.

So I've put a new case, PSU, GPU, RAM and CPU cooler in. 

I did put some 2133MHz RAM, but only because there was a 1900 Euro budget :P, it's also mad 16GB of it.

Just put the H110 in there because of the lower RPM and better software (AFAIK). 

I put the Pro in there just because there are really no compromises with it, it's large, has great cable management, room for upgrades, has great airflow and looks awesome. 

RM850 is great and will allow for another 290X for the future, it's really reliable and will last a while. 

Kept the 500GB 840 EVO because of the awesome performance/$. 

 

Hope you like it, or at least I hope it helps you out on your final decision :D

Thanks very much.

I think i will go for sure for the Vengance Pro 1866 MHz RAM

I have concerns about the 290X gets to loud.
What do you think of adding another 290 as an upgrade in a few months?

The case is no discussion point ;)
I think there are for sure cheaper and/or better options but I only go with the 780T because i like it so much.

 

Whats the difference between the RM850 and the AX860 Power supply?

I herad the AX860 turns of the fan completly on low usage.
I liked that! What do you Think?

What du you mean with better software at the H110?
I dont like the H110i softwarewise things!
The H110 don't have this or?
My thoughts were on going with the 105 and noctura fans will turn it into a low noise + good cooling experice.
but I'm ok with the H110 aswell.
