The Asus GTX 780 DC II gives you the most for your money spent at the moment, when taking into consideration performance, overclocking, temps and noise levels. It can quite easily be clocked to perform on par with 290X while maintaining low noise levels.

You got the whole concept a bit wrong regarding the temperatures and heat. AMD has designed the card to run at 95 degrees no matter what, so in the first place it will adjust the fan speeds according to this, and after that clock speeds. This you know. However, this doesn't mean that it will release more heat than if it ran at say 80 degrees, which is what Nvidia's Boost 2.0 works with. A simple example: You have a chip that you cool with a fan. First you make the fan run very slow while putting a load on it, meaning the chip gets very hot. If you now increase the rpm of the fan by a lot (same load), the chip will cool down because now the heat is pulled away quicker, but you still have the exact same amount of heat dissipated into your case.

The argument of 290X "running too hot" is not relevant IMO, AMD made very clear that they are designed to run at 95 degrees celsius. I guess we really see about that in a year or so though if there is a sudden rise in failing cards. Noise is a problem though, and so are the throttling problems because of an unresponsive fan curve. All in all I agree with that the GTX 780 is a better looking option now - but that may very well change when the aftermarket designs hit the market. Asus DC II cards, as an example, have been very impressive lately.

Guys I am running out of time so please give me some solid recommendation that fits everything. :)

It's not that bad but main problem is you followed a build video that was made over a year ago. You can get better parts with careful planning today for around 400$. I came up with this in a few minutes of newegg browsing which would provide much better gaming performance.

How much better will this due than my g700? Keeping in mind I came from using a standard microsoft mouse since the beginning of time and when I got my first gaming mouse (g700) it blew my mind. although a little hard to get used to the shape I love it way better and I notice its way way better than any of my other mice which are just microsoft standard ones

I am skeptical about razer because I could not log into drivers on the keyboard I had from them. I love how the g700 feels and I cannot tell really the difference between wired and wireless. Did you hook up the usb cord with the bluetooth reciever on the end and set it next to the mouse? I run the same setup though. No battery and wired. I am way way better on this mouse than my old microsoft mouse, would never go back. So if you can convince me that I will actually be able to use my razer product I would buy one. (cant login to drivers because servers are unavailable rendering the product useless)

where can you find the da4g? i tried googling it but nothing came up
