Interesting motherboard upgrade kit with MSI Gaming 5, 8GB Kingston HyperX 2133MHZ RAM and an i5-4670K. Saves £30 buying the bundle.

If you're going to use more than one monitor (had forgotten you asked about that), might as well get the 280X.

CrossFire ready. Good PSU.

So after all the planning :D, i have came up with this set up which I'm most likely going to get this week. Anything I should change in this?
I went for the 770 as it comes with free Watchdog game which i was going to get anyway therefore i picked it over the r9 280x.

Nice build like the colour scheme, running a R9 290 and a GTX 770, both are great cards and do the job nicely.

You wont go far wrong with a GTX 770.

Solid build there.
