I am looking to build a high-end fully AMD build of around $2500 for extreme gaming and some video editing and 3d rendering I need both the CPU and the GPU to be AMD ones. Anybody care to suggest the parts.

Ok look this one almost the same perfomance at graphics R9 290 vs R9 290X but HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE Boost on CPU

I7-4930K has 9.4/10 Rating and the FX8350 has 8.1/10 this CPU is the Boss !

That's pretty much what I was talking about. I either go big or go home. How do I fit a water cooling loop into the budget?

I change you the motherboard with an also good one and the 240GB with 120GB.
So now you have 100$ budget space.

Good. Would an Intel processor outperform an AMD processor for such high-end builds?I need to make sure I am getting the best value for money.

Hmm... the truth is that R9 290X for a single monitor is to much...
What monitor do you have ?

This build is perfect for a Tripple monitor setup.
If you make an Intel Build ofc you will get more CPU power for your Rendering etc but in tripple monitor you will lose gaming perfomance.
If you have a single monitor i will suggest you to go for an intel build.

Wow, it seems the 4930k is a much better processor than the amd one. How well would it perform in games?
