Ill explain some of my choices:
GPU:
The 780ti is a stunning card, for £100 more than the 290X you get much more power for you're money, Its put the 780 to shame. The Ref cooler (unlike the AMD cards) is stunning, cool and quiet.
Monitor:
As much as i like the look of that 29" monitor i think games would look awful on it (compared to my choice atleast, let me explain). On a screen that big the picture will seem a little stretched, whereas the monitor i've selected has a higer refresh rate. This is give the image a smoother 'crisper' appearence. I also unleashes you're 780ti to display 144FPS (max), which it will do.
. Compartively i think 144hz (120hz) looks nicer than 1440p too.
Case:
H440, Stunning, in white. Black (and red) is avalible too.
Keyboard and Mouse:
I see repear went higher end, with a Mech keyboard and 'pimped' mouse. Considering its your first build i think you should keep these bits simple. I personally don't like the feel or sound of mechanical keyboards. I may be one in a few but thats how i wfeel, considering you can get a very high-end non mech keyboard for under £40, you can't complain.
The mouse is justy a toned down version of repears choice, has enough features to get you going and is a quality product.
Extra's:
Added SP and AF fans so you can change the colour scheme of your rig, its comes with white and red (and blue) rings, so you can use either, depending on your personal white to red balance.
Also added extension cables to make the insdies look pretty, and lights to put around the edge to make it glow.
thoughts?
