In one area yes it is significant. You build packs almost twice the graphical horsepower than of the tigerdirect PC.

Same CPU

Tiger has 16GB ram - but only 1333

Tiger only has r9 290x - 2 780's will kill it.

Tiger doesn't say what make and model power supply. For 2 x 290x you'd need a good quality 1000W

That's too bad. Thanks for the help

I did actually mention crossfiring in my original post.

Could anyone point out why the TigerDirect PC with an added 290x would be better? Isn't the 780 better to begin with?

Also change to the 4790k. Same price, newer CPU, 0.5 ghz extra clock, better thermal paste and design for better cooling.

Why do you suppose that the guys posting their High-End Intel-Based builds (competing with eachother, of course) use the 4770k, or even 4670k, then?

The 4790k was released relatively recently while the 4770k and 4670k have been out for two years now.

I don't mean to continuously burden all of you, but have you taken a look at the High-End Intel-Based PC Build discussion? Could you give me your own 2 cents about which build is ideal?

That really depends on what you mean by ideal. Another major factor is the budget being involved.

I specialize in bang for your buck builds, so if you wanted to make another thread asking for a system and used the format mentioned here:

I'd be happy to help, just send me a pm with the link to your thread :)
