Thanks for all the useful information everybody, but if i were to OC the 280, which am cooler would you recommend to cool it efficiently enough? I'm also trying to shove this beast of a card into a mini-ITX form factor, so the coolers can't be longer than 13.5 inches. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible for me to save some cash and purchase an R9 280 and then overclock its GPU and memory to 280X specifications? Or is this not a possible feat with the 280?

How much processing power will I need to mine these crypto coins?

So can these bitcoins actually buy things in the physical world? Do they have any real monetary value?

What the heck are these currencies? I just started hearing about them, and I have no idea what they are. Can someone please clarify? Explain as if you are talking to a six-year old. Also, if you have any articles (no wiki, please, I've already read it) that would be much appreciated.

I can't believe the $100 markup on the R9 280X! One week I am ready to buy the card, the next week, it's up to $400!

If you have some extra money, get the Crosshair (simply because its awesome and part of the ROG boards), but the Sabertooth is pretty much the same board with everything you'll need for a lesser price.

Yes, this is more than enough for a single display, even triple-monitor display.

So I've been working on this build for a while and here's what I have finally came down to. Will there be any compadibility issues and are there any suggestions for what I should be purchasing? Also, I already have a case that will fit this build and I will be using the stock cooler for the i5...

Yes, ASUS DirectCU cooler is very well designed. If you need more help with other products, check the reviews written on the retail website, like newegg.com. Happy Gaming!

Great! Thanks for the replies.

Will either of these cards be bottlenecked by an i5 4670K?

So, here's two cards containing the GTX 760 GPU. One is made by EVGA: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130944 The other is made by MSI: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127748 Can anyone help me differentiate between the two cooling-wise...

Looks good! What games will you be playing?
