This is mainly for the oculus rift when it comes out. So let me know if there are issues with my components and the case or issues between the components themselves. I'm trying to keep costs as low as I can for now so try to keep that in mind if you offer alternatives. :)

Thank you!

Hi! I think that the r9 290's fps difference will not vary greatly between the 780TI. It'll be very great even if you don't overclock.
