I would like a case that has fan controls with at least three stock fans (min 120mm), lots of space (maybe not Phantom 820 big, but large enough for big GPUs. Expansion slots I'm not too worried about, however the look of the case to me is as important as the fan controls and space. Possibly just two, maybe four, USB 2.0s and two USB 3.0s with the usual microphone and earphone jacks. LEDs would be a nice touch as well as an elevated tower with a few dust filters. I just want to get a very nice case such as the Phantom 820 but for a little less premium. I would prefer something that isn't as heavy as a mining truck, except if it is an ultra tower. Anything over $250 is out of the question and if it hasn't got enough airflow or space than it's out of the question as well. I just want a really rounded, nice looking, large case with fan controls, LEDs and possibly a brightness and hue changer. If I can get something of the sort at around $150 than I'll be super happy (if not than I think I'll just get the Phantom 820 for a cringing $250).

All I'm looking for is something that has good reliability, LEDs, again lol, a USB port or two to plug in my mouse at a modest $50-$100. I do not care for macro keys or even a num pad. Also I'm an FPS player so possibly Cherry MX Brown, Black or Blue (idk what I like cause I haven't gotten one yet, which ever one is the supposed best for FPSs).

A 24" monitor on a $300-$500 price range. I would prefer a 1440p or 1080p on 120Hz with 1ms response time. I'm not sure about the 144Hz monitors, like I don't even know if my R9 290 will need 144Hz. I'm not worried about the bezel because I don't plan on going dual monitors anytime soon (I might though). Anything else is a bonus.

I found 2x 4GB modules for $95, without postage, $104.7 with. I was hoping for something a little less expensive but still 8GBs of DDR3 1600. Was really hoping this whole setup would be $2000, supposedly not.

Also disregard another one of my comments about having a max budget or $2750, anything from $2250-$2500 should be fine (hopefully).

What?! The R9 290X is fairly equal with the 780Ti and the R9 290 is fairly the exact same as the R9 290X. The only major difference between the three is that AMD's are $200-$500 cheaper! AND they are better than the TITAN and 780. Trash, what bs.

@insane_metalist: Thanks, but I would like to know how it compares to other CPU coolers. Like which has the lower temperature for the CPU. Lol, also disregard my comment about dual monitors, I don't think I'll have enough room for a 24" monitor let alone two of them.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

What I really want to get sorted out now is the RAM, monitor, case, keyboard and CPU cooler. The optic drive to me is not important atm.

To me they don't look appealing, just my opinion, and also I live in Australia so Newegg isn't very helpful as they don't ship here and having another shipping company involved is just too much drama for me.

Thanks, but umm, what? I would like something that looks appealing too lol. I was thinking about a CM Hyper 212 EVO or Enermax ETS-T40-TB.

@PredatorRules: @KHAndAnime: @GTR12: Actually I'm being a little too uptight with the monitor. Could you recommend a good monitor for an R9 290 (keep in mind that I might want to have a dual monitor setup later on, possibly)?

That's what I'm saying. The monitor criticism. Thanks btw. Also I need help with the RAM, keyboard and mobo, and if you can find a better case for what I need that would be appreciated (something smaller than the Phantom 820).

Of course I'm going to get third party cooling for the R9 290 but also the i7 4770K will produce a LOT of heat. I'm sure that having a CPU cooler will be smarter than not having one, and for $30-$40 I'm no too worried about price.
