Looking to get a gaming pc i got a bite of money and i really like the case Corsair Obsidian 350d and the video card GeForce GTX Titan Black 780 as performance please HELP!! ME!!

First of all: do you need OS/monitor/keybord/mouse?

1)You said gaming right? Titan black and 780(ti) may both use gk110 but 780(ti) is more gaming oriented . So your best single gpu gaming choice is 780 ti and not titan black.(why spend that 500$ extra?).

2)You said you prefer 350D but that's a micro atx case. You can get another obsidian atx case which pretty much looks the same, and you will be far more comfortable fitting the parts in the case+ extra air flow for better cooling. If case size is a big deal for you can stick with your choice.

PS. Spending that kind of money and playing on a simple singe Fhd screen is just wasting your money...

1) Starting at the lower end of your budget. I chose the 144Hz asus monitor to acheive maximum fps. This is a monitor which supports gsync(not many have that support). You can get the diy kit for an extra 200$ and be one of the few using that technology that soon.

2)Now if you are willing to spend that 3000$ you will be entering the world of 4K. Here i chose the less prisey r9 290x crossfire configuration since you will be gaining 1-5 fps with the 780 ti sli , and that only on some games. Also i added a 4K screen, i guess you dont have one of those already.
