Fixed, however this PSU has no headroom for 2-way SLI. If you want that headroom I suggest getting the EVGA G2 750W (Which will amount to about $30 more)

I'm looking for some help, my previous budget on 1500$ I recently realized that that would take a while to save up to. I am starting a new class where I am going to need a new pc, this winter / early spring I am going to upgrade it quite heavily, possible to an 780 ti. I am going to be sharing work with an nvidia pc so I am going to need an Nvidia pc. I am going to water cool it next summer, right now I am going to game mostly but animate a bit also. This is the stuff I had from the 1500$ budget, if anyone could help me get the price down to ~1000$ I'd like it if it didn't go over that, mostly because it costs ~100 to ship it to sweden.

 

Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM

ASRock Z97 EXTREME6 ATX LGA1150

Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866

A-Data Premier SP610 256GB 2.5"

Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM

EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB Video Car

NZXT H440 (Blue/Black) ATX

Corsair Professional 850W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX

I would drop the budget to $1100 instead of $1000. This way you still have excellent performance and the PSU has room for 2-way CF on the R9 290.

Your PSU is way overkill. Change your 780ti to an R9 290 and then get a better cooler and motherboard.

You could also take the gigabyte GTX 780 however it is more expensive. Also you should OC the ASUS card since it's clocked at a mere 889MHz but it can easily reach 1GHz.
