At this budget, get some nice IKEA chair [can recommend the "Markus" very cozy] and get some DT 880Pro + Snoball Mic + O2dac+amp or a soundcard ^^

Don't ever buy Roccat. Horrible stuff, Logitech g400s + Ducky / CM / Filco / WASD Custom / Das Keyboard

 

And your PC name is horrible.^^

why a sound card? it doesnt help anything the manufactures just want you to think that it will help your sound

Already have the roccat savu and i find it very good so i'm gone stay with my old mouse

If your just playing at 1080p, you could have gone for a cheaper gpu, as the 780ti is kinda overkill for 1080p

For current generation of games maybe, in a few years without a doubt it isn't overkill anymore.

Depends, 250-600Ohm headphones will be horrible on onboard =P More in terms of amplification. But the o2amp+dac is superior in any way [Got 880s with a Xonar STX and later got a o2amp+dac LE from university, much better] ^^

I have a Kone XTD and I think it's doing extremely well. Not a single problem with it works great.

Agreed, if you are pushing 1 display and gaming at 1080p then even a 2gb 770 would work well. Does for me.

Yeah but in a few years you can save money aside for the 1080 (Ha!) or whatever it'll be and they will be properly built for 1440p and higher.

What about The Witcher 3 or Metro Last Light? The 780Ti struggles with 'em.

Alright. I can recommend Ducky / FIlco / DasKeyboard / Cooler Master and WASD Keyboards [you can customize the keys and so on, awesome ] I had nothing but trouble with Roccat, all products but the USBhub / Mouse Dongle ended up RMA for 3months and money back after that. I'd buy razer before roccat

 

Caseking and getdigital sell Ducky / Filco / DasKeyboard [in case you can't get Ducky / Das in Belgium] and WASD you'll have to order from the states, but totally worth it. And the Logitech g710+ is awesome, my brother is using it.

Not going to argue with that they do. We don't know what he's going to play though for all we know he could play minesweeper! (I know this probably isn't the case but yeah)

I'm thinking of adding another monitor(s) later

Maybe it is the case

No i'll play games like CS BF4 Civ V(i know it's not a resource intensive game) Watch dogs etc.

! You'll have to let me know what minesweeper looks like in glorious HD!

 

CS, BF4 CIV5 all run fine on my 770 at max, but if you're planning on adding more screens and such and you're set on a 780ti and you can afford it just get it, maybe next year add another and then in a few years replace with the 1080 that's going to tickle me all day at work.
