So... According to my calculations...

Once I sell my current computer and a shit load of other crap, I should have a budget of:

~$2800

Holy crap will I be able to do a lot with that much. What I want to do is make a small compact gaming machine in the 250D that is watercooled. Might put a 295x2 in it when it comes out, unless a 790 gets rumored.

YAYYYYYY

It's gonna take me awhile to sell all that stuff though. Guess I'll start selling soon.

I doubt Nvidia's going to make a 790, since they did announce the Titan Z. Then again, they have been doing weird things lately.

I'd say 2-way 780Ti > R9295X2.

Well the thing is I'm thinking of doing this in the 250d, which is mini ITX so only has one pci slot. I'm always changing my preference on which case to use for my next build though. I mainly just want it to fit watercooling and be as small as possible.

Why not go for a 350D?

I've been selling stuff for my next rig and I'm only up to $335~

yes but I'm selling my current rig, have like $400 saved up, selling a ton of pretty valuable unopened legos, and some peripherals I'm not using. So yea xD

Here's my chart when I was marking it down:

headset - $60
mouse - $75
mic/stand/mount/filter - $125
usb hub - $30
legos - $700
pc - 1527.99 - $1325 - mark down $200 because used
monitor - $125
my random star wars 3d vinyl poster - $250
 
so depending on what sells for how much, I could be anywhere from $2500-$3250 or something lol.

Why the great desire for a mini ITX? Why not a mid tower and save yourself a lot of headaches trying to fit as much of a high end computer as possible in a confined space while struggling to cool it all? I tell ya that Corsair 350D or Define R 4 are looking pretty sexy. Or perhaps another case that has a handle at the top to help with carrying. If all else fails we'll get you started on a push-up regimen and start you on a gym membership to get those guns big enough to carry two 900Ds. ;-)

Well portability is a very interesting possibility to me. I am considering something a bit bigger like the Define Arc Mini R2, but I just don't see the need for having such a big case like a 900d, really.

There is definitely a huge selection between those two options and I wouldn't really recommend the 900D for what you are doing anyways. I was just trying to be a little silly.:-)

I carry my Define R4 around, I just put it back in the foam slide it into the box, put my keyboard mouse and cords in the space at the top and I am off!

Yes but when you're going on vacation in a family of 5, you need to save all the space you can :P
