my eyes hurt man, use export -> bbcodemarkup pl0x

 

btw are there better coolers for r9 290 for same or cheaper?

 

also, with my build its meant to be quiet.

a 2000$+ build should be quiet, so only change i would do to your build is add quiet fans. some cheap fans that are quiet go from around 8-13$ (like enermax magma, spectre pro... )

Sorry, haven't posted a PPP link on the forum for a while! You have to live with plain text! Muhaha.. Sorry. 

 

For the R9-290 I generally go for the XFX DD cooler and the Sapphire Dual-X or Tri-X. But those are generally higher priced. I saw and heard that the MSI one actually does very well as well in terms of cooling. But I often just stick with XFX or the Tri-X if I can. :]

 

Yeah I had some be quiets in there, but removed them. I know the stock phanteks fans are actually very good. It's something he can change out later if he got the system and feels like it's to loud. Ow right, completely forgot about the terrible stock fans on the H100i. Woops! :]

 

For your build:

X79 actually gets an performance increase when going quad channel ram. So 4x4GB kit is prefered over 2x8GB. 

As I said above, the R9-290X vs the R9-290 is just so bluntly stupid in my opinion. You get a very slight performance increase for $200. 

The Corsair cases sadly got some bad quality control going on and it's more expensive then the Phanteks Enthoo Pro. Wich in my opinion is a much better case. 

The PSU is an akward spot. 1050W won't be enough to power 3 R9-290Xs and it's way overkill for 2 of them. A solid 850W will be plenty for that setup.

Good boy for useing Noctua's tho! Despite them being expensive as hell! :P

Almost! 

 

Seasonic make amazing PSU's yes. But that EVGA one is just.. to good to ignore. 10 year warrenty, 80+ gold, fully modulair black sleeved cables. Amazingly priced as well. 

I think Seasonic got a 10 year warrenty PSU as well, but I bet that this one is a lot more expensive! I am to lazy to check it out now lol. Perhaps it's even the X series. Not sure! :)

 

I hope you don't mean Corsair SP fans. :]

There are better options out there. 

 

I can make a few color scheme's. :] Give me a minute or 10!

Nevermind, I won't bother till we know what color scheme he wants, there are a lot of options. Red, Orange, Yellow, Blue. Sadly.. no green! :[
