So I got offered 1750$ for my current computer not including monitors or peripherals. My question for you guys is can I build a better system then what I have currently for that amount? My specs are in the signature. I would like to stick with an i7, have at least 16 gigs of ram, aio water cooling like the h100i I have, a r9 290 level gpu with 3 gigs of vram, boot ssd plus a 1tb hdd. I would like to keep with good well known companies such as msi, asus, corsair, ect. I am just seeing what I can pull for the money I haven't accepted nor declined the offer and as I haven't really been keeping up to date on pc components I figured I would see what you guys think. 

PC Specs: CPU: Intel i7 4770K / CPU COOLER: Corsair H100i / Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 120Gig and Seagate Barracuda 1Tb / Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming-7 / GPU: EVGA GTX 780 SC ACX / Power Supply: SeaSonic M12II 850watt / Case: Corsair 750D 680 Coaster
