Hi Everyone,
Thanks in advance for any help.
This is my 2nd rig. The last one I built was approx 6 years ago and I got excellent use out of it, but alas it's time to upgrade.
I will not be overclocking anything right now, but down the road a year I may and want to leave my options open.
I listed a R9 290 below, I am waiting for a non ref card that includes BF4 or I will just buy a GTX 780 since I like the games offered.
I am looking to pick up a new mouse in the near future as well. Debating between razer deathadder and naga, thoughts?
I have selected the Corsair 550D case, I was going to go with the Fractal R4, but it is too wide to fit in my desks tower cut out. Width wise the opening is only 8.9 inches. I am debating whether the 500R would be a better choice vs the 550D? or is there another option?
The Budget is around $1700 USD. Please check over what I have so far and post any comments or recommendations. Thank you.
