Go for the Pro Evo , for the extra money (£28 i think @ Amazon) you get an extra 8gb and a faster SSD.

if you arent using the pc for CAD/Photoshop stuff which will use hyper threading save yourself £80 on the CPU and buy the i5 4670k there's minimal performance difference. read this review. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Intel/Core_i5_4670K_and_i7_4770K_Comparison/

Today i ordered a similar build to you , which Sapphire 280x model is it ? the toxic is the best. the PSU will be able to handle two of those for crossfire if you wanted to go down that route? (not too sure on the brand though)

also you'll have to be running some HUGE programmes if your wanting to use 16gb, i'd go for 8. but if you have the cash why not.

hope this helps? here's my Gaming PC build. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1851843/rig-bought-today.html

Hah, thats right. Thanks for the help. But won't r9 290x get a release price of 700-750 dollars? HIS r9 290x costs 715 dollars on Amazon. And newegg wrote the price on MSI r9 290x in the coding. What do you think the price will be?

Well, I will edit so I will need 16gb ram and hyper threading. I'am not buying toxic edition since it's alot more expensive then others. How much more performance do i get if I buy the toxic model?

I am guessing the MSRP to be somewhere between $650-700 as competition to GTX780, retailers will though drive it up 5-10% the first few weeks because they will constantly sell out and soon there will be OC cards with a price premium. Just History repeating itself.

In that case my friend, the i7 is the correct CPU for you & the Ram.

Which Sapphire 280x did you order? (model number) the entry level (Dual-X) is 870mhz core and 6000 GDDR whereas the toxic is 1100mhz core and 6400 GDDR. + you get 3 free games with AMD's promotion so the cost difference of £40 is massively worth it.

Hope this helps.

Couldn't I just overclock to 1100mhz core?

you could... or you could also argue that you can then clock the toxic's core 1100+. Tit for tat here mate, if you can afford it get the Toxic. enough said.

you wanted feedback you got it.
