Hello, I was just watching gaming laptop and I found one that has the performance of a i5-4690+r9 280 and it cost more than 2200€, and I though "I can make a desktop 4K rig with that money"
So well, here it is, watching benchmarks I have seen that this is the best price/performance chooise for 4K.
What do you think?

Very good idea! Sometime when you try to go cheap you forget that for a little more money (like 40$ in this case) you can get something that worth it.
The EVGA with 1000W and 80+ gold certification cost less than 150$.

¿Any reason in particular? I have seen a graphics that shows the number of fails of HDDs from Seagate, Toshiba and WD, and the Seagate had almost twice as the other two...
Anyway I have been using a 500Gb Seagate and I can't complain, 0 fails in two tears of intense use.

I have the pretty much same setup. It works very nicely (I play in 1080p). I think you'll not be able to play in ultra in all the games, but in most yes.

Edit: Sorry i didn't see that you had a crossfire. Then this build is very powerful and will max all games at 4K !
