I'll probably put an evga 750w 80+ semi atx psu in there instead and I think I'll switch the H440 for a Phantom 530. Gonna buy Windows 8.1 from G2A. Does the build look good or do you guys have anything I should change?

I'd like to say that you should go for a 250GB SSD instead and maybe get a 390 instead of 390x because you can probably save a few pretty pennies. Also you'd probably be fine with a good 550/600w PSU, no need for 750w but looks like a good deal.

Sig under construction.

I've seen a few benchmarks between the two GPUS, there isn't much difference in fps at 1440p from what I've seen. Is that because of drivers?...

Perfect, maybe bump up the SSD to 250GB since the price/GB is better and youll thank yourself later for getting the one with more space, cuz 120GB fills up quickly.

There's barely any difference between them because they're effectively the same card, the x though has more graphics cores and has a slightly higher clock speed. Usually you can overclock a non-x to x speeds.

So what warrants the $100 price difference lol
