Hi Guys, ive been reading a lot in this forum and decided to ask you all about the pc im about to buy myself in a couple of days.It's gonna be my first desktop so Im still unsure about the mainboard and gfx and the new coming technologies. (Gsync, etc.)

I'll use this pc only for gaming... and im open for any other tips, advices, hints =D

This should be the parts ill use to build my pc:

- Microsoft Windows 8.1 64bit, OEM -D-
- Fractal Define R4 - Black Pearl (Midi Tower)
- Seasonic P-860 (SS-860XP F3) Platinum (860W)
- Still dont know which mainboard, i dont need wlan.
- Intel Core i5 4670K BOX, 3.4GHz, LGA 1150, 4C/4T, unlocked
- Noctua NH-D14 (120mm)
- Kingston HyperX black, 2x8GB, DDR3-1600, CL10 @1.5V
- WD Red, 64MB, 2TB, SATA-3, 24/7 NAS
- Samsung SSD 840 Basic, TLC, 250GB, SATA-3, 2.5 Zoll
- Asus Xonar DGX, 5.1 PCI-E x1 Soundkarte

I still dont know which monitor to buy, i just want a 27" with 2560/1440p

- Dell UltraSharp U2713HM, 27" TFT Wide, HDMI + DisplayPort
- Acer B276HUL, 27" LED, IPS, DisplayPort,
- Asus PB278Q, 27" LED, HDMI, Pivot, Schwarz

And about the graphic cards i dont know if i should buy a 780 nividia or wait for the r9 290's

- EVGA GTX-780 SC ACX, 3GB GDDR5, PCI-E x16 3.0
- Sapphire R9 290 4GB, PCI-E 3.0

For now Ill use a single monitor, but later on i might buy a gsync monitor 24" FullHD.
in some years ill probably use SLI or CFX so the mainboard should probably be "equiped" with that ^.^

Im really open for any piece of advices i could use to build my pc, even if its changing a part i already choosed.

Thank you all for answering and wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR! =D

Okay if you have decided to buy a g-sync monitor, then Nvidia is the way to go. Best of luck.

But I think not having a gsync monitor is only bad when you don't keep v-sync on and frames are lot more than your monitor can handle. Which In this case you can max out all the settings and keep v-sync on then you will stay steady at 60 FPS with r9 290.
