i am wanting to build a pc desktop a lot lately component list:
Corsair 650d
ASUS MAXIMUS VII Ranger
I5-4770k
H100i
Crucial DDR3 Ballistix Tactical 16gb

Corsair RM750
Samsung ssd 840 evo 120gb
WD red 1tb
Corsair Vengeance M95
Razer DeathStalker


but i don't now which graphics card to go for so i have thinking about the GTX 780ti w/ACX cooler or Sapphire Radeon R9 290x but i can go for an other one if you suggest it.
btw im gonna use this build for pc gaming and recording on games.

I would suggest a larger SSD and a slower video card. $600 for the video card is nice to have, but is totally not needed. A $250-300 card can run anything and will for a while. 120 gig SSD for Windows and games is a bit tight.

Radeon 280X is around $300 and is a great card, if you really want to get a bit more oomph, R9 290 is also good, and still a $100 or more under what you are looking at, giving you more to put towards a larger SSD.

First of all change you psu to something more reliable like corsai axi series or xfx, seasonic one. Where youre buing from so i can help you with that?

Personally i would like to ask if you have a limitted budget on gpu perchuase cuz i do feel like they are on different price range. If not then 780ti os the most powerfull of this 2.
At 1080p gaming 290x is more than enough and less overkill than 780ti.
Whats your res and what the price of each?
Plus nowadays you can go for samsung 850 ssd than 840..

i would also agrre to keep 850 120gb for os and programs and grab a "sandisk extreme pro" ssd 240gb for games. i have both of them and sandisk extreme pro is super fast loading big files like games and it awesomnly performing.
Also at 1080p i reccomend sapphire r9 290 vapo-r oc (the blue one not the tri-x orannge) since it has sweet price for perfomance a lot better than r9 280x and it is very close to 290x. You dont need 780ti at 1080 at any case. maybe a cfx in a year or so and you 100% ready for 1440p or 1600p gaming!
