650 watt is not going to cut it

 

also R9 290X performs better in 4K than a 780

yeah use r9 280x cards in sli not 780's

we're talking price to performance

For 4K, the 280x's aren't going to cut it. You'll want 290x's or 780's.

 

No point in the i7. An i5 will game just as well as the i7.

290x is better for higher res than 780's.

Maximus gene is quite expensive and there are cheaper alternatives.

 

Where are you shopping/located? Budget?
