New Build <$2500 Aud

[TheScarecrow]

So im in the process of picking parts for a new PC I'm building but I'm stuck on choosing a few things and would like any feedback and advice. This is intended mostly for gaming but may also be doing other stuff.
I have a budget preferably no more than 2.5K. 
My parts choices are:

 

Microsoft Windows 8.1 64bit OEM  $115.00

 

G.Skill Trident X F3-2400C10D-8GTX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3  $109.00 X2

 

CoolerMaster Storm Enforcer  $99.00

Are there any other cases with front facing I/O like this as well as a front door?

 

Seagate Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM001 $95.00

 

Corsair RM-650 80 Plus Gold Power Supply $159.00

 

Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H Motherboard $189.00 I can never seem know exactly what to look for in a mobo. Thoughts on this one?

 

Intel Core i7 4790K  $389.00

 

Noctua NH-D15 CPU Cooler $109.00

 

Samsung 840 EVO Series 250GB SSD $139.00

 

MSI GeForce GTX 780 Gaming Edition 3GB  $549.00

Is the 780ti worth the extra $300?

 

total $2061

 

Prices in AUD 

 

Thanks for any replies

Check out the Phanteks Enthoo Pro, best case on the market IMO, only $99 dollars. supports EATX, has the best tooless hard drive caddys that i have ever seen, and more importantly, is designed for extreme watercooling and has 8 expansion slots so 4-way SLI/Crossfire is possible

Also,if u are sending 2.5K, get into X99, also, i would suggest getting something like an EVGA Supernova 1000w P2 power supply if u are spending this much

What benefits would I get from X99? Why would I need a 1000W? 

[asim1999]

for future upgrades and quality. X99 supports more cores, and the base 5820K costs around the same as the 4790K and has 6 cores, 15MB L3 cache and supports upto 3 graphics cards. the "big daddy" 5960X is an 8 core with support for 4-way SLI and has 20MB L3 cache. you will see a significant performance increase when it comes to productivity due to >=50%more cores and cache as standard..

also the R9 295X2 is $999 dollars in the US (nout sure about australia), so pick one of rhose up and $1500 remaining will be enough for the rest of the components for an X99 system

hope this helps and enjoy your new PC

Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H Motherboard $189.00 Is there anything more suited to the i7. 
Noctua NH-D15 CPU Cooler $105.00

Samsung 840 EVO 250gb $139.00
Seagate Barracuda 2TB $95.00
Corsair RM-650 80 Plus Gold Power Supply $159.00
