So im building a pc for 4k gaming and heavy 3d rendering. I need help choosing a GPU.
Options are watercooling the R9 290Xs Crossfire vs the 780 ti sli. the r9 290x option is around 200$ cheaper than the 780 ti.
R9 290X WATERCOOLED WITH NZXT G10 AND CORSAIR H55
Another option is to get the r9 295x2

Look at what others have done and how they fared eg

and temps - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/powercolor-devil-13-dual-amd-r9-290x-review,3853-9.html
and
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-r9-295x2-crossfire-performance,3808-4.html - BF4 Ultra

I really wouldn't go into water cooling. Not after the problems I've seen people go thru on this forum. For a start - bang goes your warranty.

And 2 x 290x's will get you 50 fps in BF4 on Ultra playing 4K. I think it's too much money to spend for such a poor result.

For rendering, just make sure you've got a good cpu. That's where most of the work is done.
