Hey guys,

I'm planning on building my own gaming pc. I have chose some components for it already: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/3vRFg
I would really appreciate it if some of you could check it out and give some tips.
This is the first computer I will be building so I don't know much about it.
I'm struggling whether I should choose 2x Nvidia Geforce GTX760 2GB or 1x Nvidia Geforce GTX780 3GB. Also I'm not sure about what I selected for the storage component and the power supply. Again, I would highly appreciate some tips and suggestions. My budget is 1900 US$

Greetings,
Thijs

P.S.: Sorry if my English isn't that good, I'm not a native speaker.

I agree with badboyrog2's picks. With one exception, I would keep the Noctua NH-D14. It is a much better cooler. It is almost always a better choice to start off with a single high end graphics card, and the GTX 780 is a great choice. I would go with the EVGA GTX 780 SC or the Asus GTX 780. The only caveat is if you already have a GTX 760, then it may be more economical to just add another GTX 760.
