This is by no way a good spec probably, but as an idea, you get a better case, better CPU, better cooler, bigger SSD etc

The new 880 series of nvidia GPUs and the X99 platform and CPUs are coming very soon so might be an idea to wait for those

 

[Morfinel]

1 question what is the warranty on bundle is it combined 2 years for example or it's seperate for each product, I know few shops do bundle but they limit warranty on them

 

[ShivP]

It will just be the warranty for the individual components as it's not a prebuilt bundle i.e. 5 years for the PSU, 3 years for the CPU etc

What monitor is your Friend using ?

 

[Fallen god]

What monitor is your Friend using ?

This 2 780ti for 1 1080p monitor is so overkill.

Just to show the savings if you go the R9 290 route, assuming you need dual gpu's.

[William-Mathew]

^^ +1, You can even upgrade them to 290x for about £120 more with the weekly sales

 

[newbieclocker]

I have an i7 in my system and I get no boost of frame rate whatsoever. My experience with AMD has been a bad one with constant dipping frames, besides Nvidia has more features that make it more valued.

EDIT: He plans to play ARMA 3 with many mods, crysis 3 at 4K

I wish this build was mine

My friend gets it for his GCSE results.

 

[ShivP]

I'd honestly think about getting an i7 to make the most of the GPU power. It's generally recommended that you should get an i7 with two or more GPUs here I think, just to ensure you use the potential of your GPUs fully and it can be good for rendering etc too and future games will make use of multi-threads and the i7 has hyperthreading which might give some nice boosts

Did you mean to put the air 540? That's an atx board and matx case

Yes I did, I was going the spec very quickly and didn't notice that I picked the Air 240

It works out cheaper if you buy the i7 4790K and Asus board as a bundle

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-013-AS&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=2858

Also the Corsair RM psu isn't that good. The EVGA in my spec is much better.

The Samsung 840 Pro isn't worth the £££. I would advise you go for the 840 Evo instead.

The 750 Watter you spec is an epic PSU and I love it's Superflower OEM however with these GTX 780TI's in SLI this will be about 80-50 watts from its maximum power so I would personally be looking at 800 Watts so that it stays a little cooler and a bit quieter
