You got the wrong motherboard you need an LGA1155 motherboard. Everything else looks pretty good. Are you getting a good deal on the 7990 or something? if not then go for a 290X, preferably aftermarket if you will wait on it. And for an SSD go for the Samsung 840 EVO. Everything else looks good.

Get a 256GB SSD for boot...

Go with 16GB (helps the SSD)

Corsair Closed loop cooler:

Read the Corsair airflow article off the website too.

yeh im getting the 7990 for 700 and its the best imo

Zenorie · Nov 19, 2013

and the r9 is slower

patrick47018 · Nov 19, 2013

Alright I was going to say if it was close to 1000 to just wait and get 2 aftermarket 290X's. But that's pretty good, too bad the Devil 13 still isn't being made haha. And I agree on the 240GB SSD and 16GB RAM if you are going this big go big or go home, ya know what I mean? And as far as a keyboard if you like the G19 and Mad Catz mouse then go for them

Zenorie · Nov 19, 2013

so yous don't thing the 7990 is any good? why?

patrick47018 · Nov 19, 2013

I never said that, it is a really good card.

Zenorie · Nov 19, 2013

oh then why did u suggest a slower card instead of it?

patrick47018 · Nov 19, 2013

You said you were paying 700, how about 579? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131493

patrick47018 · Nov 19, 2013

And the 290X performs about the same in some games, better in some, but in others the 7990 is better. It just depends, I would wait and see what the non-reference 290X cards look like. But the 7990 is a fine choice.

Zenorie · Nov 19, 2013

thank you

. and why did u suggest the slower card to the 7990 whats bad about the 7990

patrick47018 · Nov 19, 2013

Well the 7990 runs rather hot, but so does the 290X which is why I said wait for the aftermarket coolers. Or you could always go with a liquid cooling system for your CPU and GPU, get a waterblock for your 7990 http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c309/s1876/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Water_Blocks_VGA_-_Card_-_ATI-HD_7990_Water_Blocks-Page1.html

Zenorie · Nov 19, 2013

aftermarket coolers for the 290 or the 7990

patrick47018 · Nov 19, 2013

There won't be any new 7990's, they will likely all be discontinued here soon. And 290X's will apparently be out here late November. And like I said you could go with liquid cooling

Zenorie · Nov 19, 2013

so the 7990 is a very good card no problems wth it jus that it gets hot??

patrick47018 · Nov 19, 2013

Yes that is its only downside.

Zenorie · Nov 20, 2013

okay well can you please recommend all the watercooling things id need id prefer corsair like everything I will need please recommend them for me

patrick47018 · Nov 20, 2013

Zenorie · Nov 20, 2013

patrick47018 · Nov 20, 2013

So what questions do you still have

Zenorie · Nov 20, 2013

Umm well what motherboard do you recommend i know i need a LGA1155 and i need an atx but thats about it and id prefer asus and i want a very high end one... Any suggestions??

patrick47018 · Nov 20, 2013

Well if is must be ASUS this is a really good one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131821

Or if you are willing to go with another brand ASRock makes really high quality motherboards: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157299

Xickle · Nov 20, 2013

I want the Corsair 750d case aswell! Did you find any airflow info on it, before you decided?

patrick47018 · Nov 20, 2013

Xickle :

The airflow is pretty good, however I would add 1 more 140mm to the top of the case, because well heat rises derp
