I am building a new gaming pc.
I am going to buy it in about two weeks.
My budget is $2000
I will use it for gaming, especially for battlefield 4 and crysis 3.
I want to play those games at max settings.
I am going to buy a monitor, a gaming mice and keyboard.
I need to buy OS.
I am living in the Netherlands, but almost all parts that are available in the US, are available in the Netherlands too.
I have got a preference for Nvidia, because sli runs better than crossfire.
But if you think AMD is better you may recommend it and convince me it's better.
I will overclock my CPU if it starts to bottleneck.
In a few years I think I will buy another graphics card in sli.
My monitor resolution will be at least 1920x1080p

Should I change some parts?
Do you have an alternative build?
I have chosen a 860W because I would like to have another graphics card in a few years.
All advices are welcome.

like this?
I only don't know if I'll get the r9 290 because its 95C and very noisy. And when you buy the gtx 780 you get three games and the gtx 780 will have shadowplay and gsync. And sli runs better than crossfire.
