Hey guys,
after buying a system bundle build for £1000 from overclockers and getting it refunded after 1 month of purchasing after sending it back multiple times and not getting the problem fixed (faulty psu,motherboard)
unfortunately, i have decided to try again considering i got my pc refunded by you guys and have nothing to loose really.
i have spoken to a overclocker member and he recommended buying individual parts and building a "bulletproof" powerful system myself, i have not got the confidence really even though so many people say it is easy to build a pc i am still a UN-confident noob, so i was wondering if anyone can give me any idea on how much the sales team charge for them to build my pc considering i am buying from them again, if anyone can tell me let me know please!.
the overclocker member of staff recommended this build, let me know what you think guys and any changes you will make to it.

shall i buy this now so i dont need to pay normal prices in the following weeks?
i am cautious at the moment with the KFA2 GeForce GTX 780 HOF 3072MB
because i have never heard of this KFA2 before and the card seems overpriced (i will be buying it after this week so the 1 week offerwill be gone" so in total i assume it will be 1600+ with the costs.
i have done my research with the rm90x and found that the card dose not have a lot of good cooling so reviewers and forums were saying unless it is not waterblocked with water cooling or the card will be very hot if gaming a lot and use a lot of power consumption, people was not recommending the card due to this. in the long run would the card be worth it considering other cards have way better cooling and overclocking ability i am assuming.

"When gaming, a Core i7-4770K system armed with the R9 290X can consume up to 351 watts, which is a lot. A lot of that power is converted into heat and as a result, the R9 290X hit 95 degrees under load using AMD's reference cooler. The card was toasty at idle too, never dropping below 44 degrees."
"Heat, unfortunately, may be a concern for some. Under load, the R9 290X reference sample was the hottest card we've tested lately at 95 degrees, and it never got below 44 degrees at idle. We'd expect AMD's board partners to improve those results with custom coolers"
do not get me wrong it would be awesome to have a 290x its cheaper then the gtx780 and the titan by loads but is it worth having this card in the long run with power consumption it takes with the temperature when i am gaming literally 24/7 in a small room.
thanks guys let me know if you would change any components!
