You might want to wait a week and look at the AMD R9 290X. I've heard some issues with the 7990.

I'd even say marco's build is more p/p than mine expect maybe not on the ram and the gpu.

Evo is more p/p then Pro but pro is way better but costs alot more
Better p/p psu
Case also maybe more p/p but not sure....

Atleast we have given good examples on what you should be looking for.

Oh fuck! I didn't notice XD

EDIT: Ok you win on ram too... FUCK! I thought it was 2x8!! Well 4x4 wont be bad either since he prob won't ever need to upgrade beyond 16GB since 8GB is already enough for gaming so more than 16GB wont ever be needed when editing I guess. Also heard having more slots filled will give a better performance boost so that's why people have 2x4GB kits and not a 1x8GB ram stick. Might just be a rumor but I heard it somewhere...

Digestive... it's because, you'll get more channels to flow data from. So, two rams are better than one. I didn't get a 4x4 because I'm planning to add more in the future. Maybe to use as ramdisk.
