So I'm getting my very first windows computer and I'm planning on building it myself. I have researched a lot in the past couple of months and all the hardware I've decided is entirely based on reviews and opinions. I am curios when it comes to a couple of things.

This is what I have put together: https://www.komplett.dk/k/shoplist.aspx?mode=receive&si=1330433&su=94099871-95F2-43A8-B308-027FF221D638 paired with these RAM sticks: http://www.computersalg.dk/produkt/684022/gskill-ripjaw

I'm unsure whether i should get a GTX 780 or a 290 from AMD. The 290 is a bit cheaper where I live, but the 780 comes with the custom cooler from ASUS which i've come to like quite a lot.

Another concern I have is the PSU. I haven't heard much about the XFX brand, but I've read some good reviews.. What do you guys think?

I would love some feedback on my build!

Happy new year :)

stick with 780 its fine and it will come with 3 games free makes it a good choice!(not sure if this offer available in your country)
if R9 290 is cheaper thats also a good choice but make sure you have some thing with good cooling like a Direct CU II version.

#animal Okay, that sounds awesome!

#Niko_boy The deal is also available where I live so I think I will stick with the 780 unless the ASUS folks comes with a cooler for 290 before I order!
