Go with EK fittings rather than Bitspower. Significantly cheaper and still reliable.

If you're going to watercool, I'd wait for Slick's results on blocking the 290 vs the 780. 

If you're not waiting for that, I'd recommend getting the 290 for the memory bandwidth and vram. 

 

Also for a case, the 750D does pretty much everything the Switch 810 does but better.

Or you could grap a Fractal Arc Midi R2. Such a beautiful case with many watercooling options.

It doesn't have the same presence as the 750D or Switch 810.

Honestly, the 350d and 750d look a tad too boring.

Ehh, I disagree but there's a reason I have an NZXT Phantom.

I bet most of the forum would disagree. It's just like that i think the Arc Midi R2 is prettier than the R4. Bet i'm also the only one :b

I love the smoked window--not so much the front panel though.

Well that is kinda the difference between the two cases. I just love the industrial look of the removable grill in front. But yeah, the smoked glass looks really cool. Gives a stealthy look ;)
