This is what I get, for 2 656 U.S. dollars
Is it a good deal?

That is a high price for a computer but it would seem that you live in another country outside the US in which case the prices can be inflated. The Windows Nordic kind of gives it away so someplace in Scandinavia ?

As the previous poster stated, you need to give us your country to give you an accurate read on the price. $2,656 - $200 (monitor) - $100 (windows) = $2356. At $2300, i'd say you need a GTX 780ti, but if you're in a country where prices are higher, it might be spot on.

MasterMace :

I am in norway, and the ti was a bit expensive but if you guys say I have to do it I will, is it that much of a difference?

While the Ti model is a better model if the price difference is too great then it may not be worth it , because of where you live your already paying a lot for this computer. Shop around and see what prices you can come up with and if you want to spend the extra then go for it otherwise the 780 will get you very good fps and gameplay.

If money is a non-issue your build is fast.

If you are primarily gaming, what games do you play? You could save yourself a few hundred dollars and drop to a 4670 or 4770 CPU. You could also drop your GPU to a GTX 770 and play nearly all games at high/ultra at 1080p.

If you follow those recommendations, you should be able to save 500$ which will be another high-end graphics card in 2-3 years when it's time to upgrade.

If you want the best of the best, your current system will pretty much be it. You should look for gaming performance charts between the 780 and 780 ti to determine if the additional cost is worth it for the games you play.

I can tell you that the GTX 770 is plenty fast enough to run battlefield 3/4 and titanfall at 1080p - unless you need all settings completely maxxed like 16x AF etc which is in my personal opinion unnecessary.

My suggestion was for at $2300. If a GTX 780ti makes it more, then it's not worth it. You should be able to get a build, minus the monitor+windows, for ~$2000, with a 4770k and a GTX 780ti.
