works but are going to sli or something cause 850W power supply is a bit much if your not.

Is it just me or is Grammar slowly becoming extinct on LTT?

would dual 780 Ti's really make a difference?

it increases your power draw substantially if add another gpu. If add or are planning to add a second 780ti I would keep the 850W power supply otherwise a 650W would be fine. 

 

to clarify:     1 780ti get a 650W power supply       2 780ti's keep that 850W or even go down to a 750W.

how so? 

What country are you shopping?

 

It looks like you already bought the i7....  Should have waited until June 2nd for the newer i7-4790k.

 

Go with a 780, not 780Ti.  The Ti is very bad value, it is $200 more expensive, and only gives you 10-15% performance increase over the 780.  You can overclock the 780 to get it to that of the 780Ti.  Or even go 290X if you live in the US.  The 290X is the same price as the 780, and is better than the 780.  GPU Benchmarks

 

Get a much less expensive PSU and Case.  Case is a really personal choice, so do what you want.  Case doesn't impact performance though, so spending that much on a case unless you absolutely need those features or the space is excessive in my opinion.  You can find the Corsair 500R for $60.  The PSU is way overkill unless you plan to SLI in the near future.  550W of Bronze is enough for 1 CPU and 1 GPU, both overclocked.

 

Buy this copy of Windows 8.1 for cheap.

Philippines but i plan to buy from newegg and have it shipped over here, stocks here are limited plus we don't have a big variety of parts to choose from

 

nahh i haven't bought anything yet, is the 4790K an 1150 socket? 

How big a difference do 2 780s perform compared to 1? i'm not really fond of radeon i'm biased :))

Actually i wanted the Corsair 600T but i'm not sure if i can order one with a fully windowed side panel

Yes, both the 4690k and 4790k are 1150, but you have to have Z97 motherboard.  Go with the 4790k, should be available as soon as June 2nd.

Here is how I view GPUs.  Nvidia is superior at gaming, and AMD is superior at work station related tasks, such as architectural rendering and modeling.  Both will work, for whatever you decide to do, they each have their strengths though.  Check out this review of Workstation Graphics Cards.  I am more familiar with gaming, and a single 780 performs exceptionally well, I own one myself.  If you need the extra horsepower, buy one later, but dont start off with two.  Also figure out what kind of programs you are using and if they are more GPU or CPU bound.  This guy the other day made the mistake of building a top of the line computer, throwing an i7 in it, which you would like is enough for workstation type work along with 3 290X's.  Wrong.  His colleagues use dual Xeons in their computers and a single GPU because their tasks are more CPU bound than GPU bound.  So really research the programs you will be using before making any decisions.  When you buy your motherboard, buy one that is both SLI and Crossfire capable depending which route you need to go.
