He prefer to use Nvidia Gpu.Although he could save a load of money for his monitor if he use AMD instead.
Let him decide which one is he going to pick.

Why? You get VERY similar performance for $300 less on EACH card.....

OP prefers Nvidia GPUs out of personal preference and experiences, so that's why we're all recommending Nvidia cards. You said it yourself, the "customer" is always right (and I honestly don't blame him for wanting an Nvidia card. I'm personally not a fan of AMD either, based on experience). Good thing you guys caught the 2400MHz RAM though, should be switched out for 1600MHz.

Well, customer is always right :p Just take my listed build above and switch out the R9's for 780 Ti's.
i don't see the reason why he'd need two GPU's though, the 780Ti is fine for 1440p 60hz, i've been using the stock cooler 780 for it without dipping in frames

Plus AMD's cards handle higher resolutions much better with dual cards, so if he's actually going to use dual cards at 1440p the 290X is a much better choice
if you have money to spend you better get a 1440p / 144 hz monitor :v:
I'll take 1440p / 144hz over 4k.
Sorry to bump again, but is it worth it to have an SSD hold everything (OS, files, programs, etc) instead of an SSD holding the OS and a 7200RPM HDD to hold the rest? I'm not really sure of the differences.
Thanks again everyone!
You could bump it to a 500 to hold most of your stuff. The read/write caps on SSD's made it a bit less desirable for things like large amounts of music, plus that gets expensive. If you're worried about disk read/write speeds are an issue for any of your non-gaming work that requires large amounts of constantly written data, something like [URL="http://pcpartpicker.com/part/western-digital-internal-hard-drive-wd5000hhtz"]this[/URL] may fit the bill.
