What psu do you have as you need to make sure it supports the R9 295X2, Some psu's dont support it apparently so read up on that.Do you know any of the modestly priced ones which do support it? And what would the reason be some don't?
Also how much would the i5 4440 bottleneck it by?

The honest answer is that because of the relative newness of the video card and the amount of draw that is needed from the card there are likly to be very few that do support it.
Quote from AMD "28 A of current to each of the 8-pin auxiliary
power connectors on your graphics card
50 A of combined current to the pair of 8-pin
auxiliary power connectors
Adequate additional current for the CPU,
motherboard and other components in your system"
There suggested power supplies
Enermax MaxRevo EMR1500 $329.99 NewEgg
LEPA G-1600MA $299.99 $249.99 after $50.00 rebate card $7.30 Shipping Newegg
Silverstone Technology Strider ST1500 $295.99 SuperBiiz
Thermaltake TP-1500M $327.64 Amazon
Nothing really moderately priced ...

Here: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-120g2130... It should support it and has a whopping 1300w's for you too play with, If thats a bit overkill then the http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220g2... is more suited although would be able to Crossfire it. Both come with 10 Year warranty's, 80+ Gold, Great customer Service, Japanese capacitors, 90% Efficiency, Aswell as being fully modular.

Bottleneck depends on more than just CPU/GPU configuration. It depends more on what game engine, and resolution and refresh rate.

No, That Xeon most definatly wouldnt bottleneck it, If you can get your hands on that then go for that all the way!Also that psu would be supported but the 1000w isnt necissary unless you pplan to do xFIRE, If not then just go with the evga one i linked (850w)
How can you tell if it's supported?
ALso what would you take? the i5 4670K OCed or the Xeon with a B85 Mobo? They end up at the sameish price.
Also why is the XFX 1050W not supported?
Also are you sure 850-W will be enough? Coolermaster's PSU Calc (and I know PSU calc's aren't very accurate) suggests 900W.

850-900w should be more than sufficient unless you are running a massive amount fans, Hard drives, etc. I believe he was saying that the 1050 w would be fine but would be overkill ... The biggest thing is just to make sure to check the amperage on the power supply I'm fairly certain given that the 295x2 only needs 50amps any power supply (properly built) with 60 or more amps should be more than sufficient as that is a pretty low power processor(84w).

I'm using 4HDD's and an SSD, + 1 Optical Drive if that helps.

i5 4440 isnt quite top teir, and if you can get the xeon then "Take it now!"The i5-4440 still is good but if you can get the R9 295x2 and the xeon or 4690k, Then Take it!
Got any benchmarks to show otherwise?
Tomshardware disagrees with you:
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/gaming-cpu-review-overclo...
The slightly lower 4430 is top tier.

But still not as good as the Xeon or i5-4690k

Sorry guys, the guy selling the R9 295X2 neglected to tell me the card is a reference reviewers version and comes with no warranty at all. Got it offered for £600, 1 month old, amazing price, but I don't have the financial situation to be risking that sort of cash £600 will pay for EVERYTHING else in my build, that's how I look at it.

TOo bad mate, Your should get a Gtx 780 Ti instead, Maybe an Evga models, They broke the world record on overclocking with one
I'm now looking at a 7990 I've been offered at a great price, if all this falls through I'll take my safeguard route and go for an R9 290 Sapphire Tri-X, so no sh*t cooling problems
My original budget was for a GPU was £300, I'm willing to go over for a breakneck price but the GTX 780 Ti is just abit too much.

Benchmarks, And such. 3 Smaller fans is better than 2 Larger ones, The Tri-X Has some of the best cooling of all the R9 290's. Evga are nvidias top manufacturer, They have extremely high Quality products and are great at overclocking, Infact 2 guys recently broke the world recond and overclocked a 780 Ti to 2.0ghz on a Evga gtx 780Ti Kingpin

For 780s the best brand is Evga and for R9 290s Sapphire Tri-X Models are the bestWhere did you get that info from?
http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/63953-sapphire-r...
it's overclocked from factory compared to the reference card and it still has good temps.
