1200 is unnecessary and expensive.
My plans have changed a bit to be honest, since I’m going to order my PC on a different site (www.ironsidecomputers.com) 
@odda79 I will switch to 16GB RAM, but I will keep the 850 power supply since it’s more then enough.
And @C3po5000, I’m going to swap 1 HDD for an 128GB SSD to run Minecraft on, and keep the 1TB HDD for normal storage.
And as much as I would love to take 2 amd 290x’s, they are a bit to expensive so I will stick with the 2 GTX 780’s ^^
I also swapped my cooling to a better liquid cooler (Asetek 570LX), changed the motherboard to a ASUS Z97-PRO and changed the processor to a i7-4790k 4.0GHz. Besides that I added a 300 Mbps wireless adapter and a ASUS Xonar DX 7.1 sound card 
still if you swap out ur Asus board for a gigabyte one you can have native support for running osx and sense 10.10 will have comparability with ios 8 it may benefit you if u have a iphone
then at any point in time u can install a small hard drive or ssd just for osx
I won’t be running OSX anyway, so really no point for me to switch the motherboard. I’m not really an Apple person you see ^^
oh well worth a shot
still no reason to limit ur self as at any time if u decided u could add it
good build if you stay with it still
No, OS X would never work well with a gaming PC, if you want a gaming PC, Windows is the way to go
Yea maybe, more flexibillity is always good ^^
But most programs I use are windows focused, so I’ll probably stick with windows for a long time. If I ever decided to switch to OSX (in a couple of years maybe) technology will probably have been improved even further so I would probably just buy a new board anyway 
And thanks ^^ The build will probably stay like this, since I really like it and it’s gonna look awesome (since it’s gonna have some neon green lighting + case fans + wiring )
Well, that is true right now, but it will become easier to make games for both windows and OSX since engines are being improved a lot lately So who knows what can happen in 3 years right?
Agreed
honestly Im gonna build a new pc soon with all the bells and gigabytes when the new Maxwell cards come out because of broadwell and DDR 4
so if you want u could even wait a little longer a have a much more powerful machine for the same $$$
Don’t get two 780’s. Get two 290’s (non-X) they are faster than the 780’s. While being ~100 dollars cheaper.
Also,
He’s right, DDR4 got announced not too long ago (ram speed) and the 8xx / r7/9 3xx series GPU’s are coming in the next few months too. (And broadwell is coming out soon, but it’s pretty much a better cooled haswell, with a little overclocking advantage)
I wouldn’t go nVidia for any reason right now. They are overpriced, and AMD is beating them in benchmarks.
The 290’s are actually more expensive then the 780 on the site where I order my PC, it will cost me 80 dollars more to switch to 290’s
Hm, maybe you shouldn’t be using that site, lol. A good 290 cost’s around 370-400, while a good 780 cost’s around 500-600 dollars.
Well, I’ll keep using the site, since it offers me the most options. But maybe I can find a way to save money on other components to upgrade to the 290, but otherwise I think I’ll stick with the 780’s
If you could drop both the GPU’s (which I doubt) you could buy two 290’s separate and put them in. (They are the easiest things to install, imo. Just snap them in and plug it up from the PSU)
Hmm… I’ll have to think about that, but thanks for the feedback
@bstgms Stay on topic

Dont get 12 because you cant dual channel with 3 sticks only 4 and 2
