I don't have a budget, per se, but would like to spend less than 1500€ on this new rig. It's been years since I've built a rig and have been using a Sony Vaio for the past 2 years. It's time to build a nice PC again. Primary usage is office work and occasional gaming like Diablo III / Wildstar / Battlefield, etc.

My wishes:

High end GPU such as the R9 290
High end 4c CPU such as the 4770 or 4790
Preferably more than 8gb RAM, such as 16gb
The Samsung EVO 250gb SSD
A pair of nice 23" BenQ gaming monitors (would a single R9 290 run two 120Hz monitors successfully?)

Miscellaneous and Alternatives:

-One larger monitor to replace the dual display, but 120Hz sure would be nice. I like lots of desktop real-estate but gaming performance/quality is also a concern.
-A normal HDD is probably not necessary for my work. It's just a maybe.
-Keyboard/Mouse not needed.
-A quiet PC is nice...low noise but good quality PSU and CPU cooling, but all these niceties might put me over budget.
-Basic DVDrw

Build suggestions please, and input on the displays especially...I am really stuck on deciding on displays and GPU options.

Cheers out of Germany,

Chris

You can check this out as an idea for your build:

Feel free to change the CPU, motherboard, GPU and monitor(s), as this a build with 4K monitors in mind.

Regarding what you want, I don`t know any good 120Hz Monitors, but here`s a list for the unit: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VkJ6Bm
