It can go up to $3000 AUD (I live in Australia), but I need a case. I was going for the BitFenix Shinobi XL, But I don't think I need such a large case.

Any suggestions/improvements? This is my 2nd Build.

 

EDIT: I side window would be nice.

Arc Midi R2 and get a 7970 over the 770

[Kazetana]

Corsair C70 @PCCaseGear, but I guess its all about personal preference

[nsyedhasan]

Also 1440p? You could get a R9 card instead of the 770. Also for the case 750D, R4, or one of the caselabs' cases like the M8 or SM8.

[Max21]

Well, I'm considering SLI/Crossfire in the future and 2 7970 would be loud and power hungry... Would the ARC Midi R2 be good for water cooling? The R9 sounds good though. The Corsair sounds good too. I was considering 1440p, but it's around $200 more expensive and I like "silky smooth gameplay".

Wait for R9.

 

Competition will drive prices down.

 

Casess: Switch 820, Obisidian 750D

Ok. Would a 750W PSU Be enough for the r9?

[MrGidwani]

At that price, I'd either get the 760i or 860i from Corsair as a powersupply.

Heck 750w is plenty for a single card.

 

650w will be a little over the requirement.

 

(Looking at Titan stats. R9 will have more power consumption)

get a 750D. i love mine its incredible, so sexy IRL.

I'm worried that my case will look empty, not enough gpu's and no custom watercooling... But your looks nice.

A decent 500-550w should be enough for any single gpu.
