Oh Ok, thought that was just 290s in general. Knew reference cards were generally poor.

I believe He'll probably go with your build Maurelle just going to put a i7 4770 in there though as I noticed that the i7 was $10 more so xeon's don't provide much value over in NZ.

Yeah I know, I just feel for $10 the safety net of an iGPU if his 290 fails(which would suck) is worth it so you can still do other PC functions.

Going with this build i7 + case he wanted(wants his PC to look proper good which granted, this case does) Just one thing, Will the 290 Fit?

Says Drivebays will need to be removed and that's fine but can the 290 fit once drivebays removed?
