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-B308-027FF221D638paired 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 the build!

i'd go with the 290, try to find a non reference cooler though
xfx is fine, i've used a few of there power supplies before haven't had any problems, as a brand there pretty trustworthy
