actually I'm also a bit puzzled about a few things in this build. I see you want 2x sapphire 7790's in crossfire, but for that price you can get one single 7950? and like Rhotis said getting a amd 6300 on that mobo seems like a bit of a odd decision, maybe just up it to the amd 8320/or 8350.

I personally think you should just get:

1 AMD radeon HD 7870

AMD piledriver 8350

seasonic x 650 PSU

ASUS crosshair v formula z

8gb of ram of some sort

1tb Black HDD (OS)

2tb green HDD(storage)

and a maybe better case since you saved some money from the GPU and maybe HDD.

Hey guys sorry i think i have left out some important information im building a rig for under £800 and im not getting 2 7790's im getting 1 but i have not realy decided on any parts apart from the asus pce dual band network card as it is only £80 and i have no access to a wired network

Also this adds to £770 i was thinking of a soundcard for under £30 even though the crosshair v formular z has better onboard sound because of the red line

Oh and i like the colour scheme black and red ( the network card is also red by the way)

I bought a network card for £5 and its fine, although if my internet was actually fast then it may struggle, I havn't been able to push it to it's limit because my internet is only 300kb/s max. It connects quickly and I never get any dropouts or anything, so I don't see the point in spending £80 on an asus card.

new egg tested this and they reached around500 mb/s reading and 380 mp/s writting

I think linus should do a review on it as it is awsome
