780 tis cheaper etc etc xD

 

I'm not gauging based on individual parts

 

look at the power of the system as a whole.

 

2 R9 290s? even if people think scaling is terrible (you haven't tried Supertile w/ Radeon Pro if you think so) 1 290 is 75% as fast as a 780Ti

 

You're still getting that 8 core AMD cpu, 2 TB HDD & 240 GB SSD.

 

the only difference is I managed to get $800 worth of GPU into a build the same price as your other builds, without sacrificing quality or spec elswhere.

Not really, didnt you hear linus? the 780Ti is not that good of a value.

 

"the top teir card is never a good value, it's almost always better to get two of the next teir down"
