Hello guys I need help with a 1000% budget, but it have to include the GTX 770 or the 280x (I haven't made up my mind which one I want. I don't nothing else besides the system. This is a gaming computer with a little heap of mining (main reason why the 280x is in the mix). Thanks!

Is a copy of Windows or any peripherals needed?

 

This belongs in the New Builds and Planning section. I'm moving the thread.

Please post in the correct sub-forum in the future. The Build Logs section is for showing the build process and results of your system with pictures and whatnot.

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/
Also, make sure to quote a post or tag a member when replying or else they won't get a notification that you replied to them.

Yes, but you'd need a bigger psu to do so.
