What you think?
 
thanks for the reply stulid not sure i want to go red team again,i do plan on over clocking everything and adding another 780 later on in the year,psu looks ok,is it better than the super flower?
 
The PSU maybe better, but they both good, its the wattage/amps which is why I picked it, it just gives you that bit more head room.
 
how do you link stuff like above ? ill take a look at the other stuff you suggested,how are the r9 cards i keep hearing stories of failures and high heat.would you personaly take a 290 over a 780?

thanks
 
I would pick a R9 290, its a better bang for your buck, the reference cards with stock coolers are hot and noisy, the aftermarket ones dramatically drop the core temps and are quieter due to the bigger fans and improved heatsinks.

Im sure you should be able to catch a video on Youtube showing off the noise of these cards during use and then compare against a video of a stock card.

Faster ram would be sweet. Either the TEAM in the spec I did or maybe even Geil EVO Potensa.
