~$2500 Gaming RIG Any suggestions on these?

[Instynct]

So here it is, will be ordering soon.
The graphics card will probably be an Asus brand when they are release instead.
The will power supply probably be changed to the new Corsair RM 1000 watt when they release on the 30th. (SLI in future)
Still haven't decided on a mouse yet. Thinking about maybe logitech g700. Thanks

That is indeed a very good build.. But may i suggest that you also look at the Dell U2713HM as a monitor; I felt it had a superior quality; or you might want to wait for G-Sync monitors to be released. As for a mouse, rather than going so expensive for a g700, rather get the g400s; it is an amazing mouse that feels good and very worthwhile for the money. And as for the fans you are getting, may i suggest you rather get 4 of those and get 2 of the Corsair SP120 fans that you can fit behind the H110 liquid cooler you have..

Get this Storm Trooper case instead. Buy two extra 120mm fans and stick them on the side so they will blow fresh air right on your graphics cards. A real must with those two near 300W R9 290X cards. You need fans blowing right on them.

@ paladin may I ask why you think the Dell monitor is superior quality, and the Asus monitor has less response time (5ms). Also in reference to the rad I chose 2x Corsair AF140s for them because it is a 280mm radiator. Why the 120s?

@babernet I really really like the corsair obsidian cases, especially the 750d and I don't really think I'll be needing those two extra fans with the 2 140mms in the front and possible one on the bottom for intake. However I have considered getting the 900d

Atlast an AMD card user like me Dude I suggest you get the Seasonic X Series as the corsair rm has recently been launched and will have a little higher price tag and the seasonic also has better quality. Also try to get this card : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202058
its better in quality and comes with a BF4 copy, XFX tends to run a little hot as in my case my new 280X tops out 75C on beta BF4 MP.

Yeah I'm waiting for my options for the after market brands to be released, like Asus and others to decide which one I want. Also as far as power supply goes I'm still not final and was looking at the 1200 watt corsair PSU. I haven't heard much about seasonic though.

But the thing about the RM series is just that, they are very quiet and no coil whine.

Seasonic is the best PSU brand and Corsair uses their Circuitry in their PSU. As far as GPU goes its good to go for the aftermarket Sapphire/Gigabyte ones as they offer the best cooling for little more bucks.

Well 2.5k without the monitor or peripherals. And yes i will be editing videos on it. However guys I may get a gtx 780ti now because the after market coolers for the r9 290x won't be released till around the same time that the new nvidia cards come out. BTW I would rather have a 1000W PSU for future sli/crossfire
