Would the extra $300 be worth the upgrade?

I was only supposed to spend $2000 on this, so money is kind of a big deal.

I have been suggested the AMD R9 290 but I am not really buying into it yet.
Until I see some aftermarket coolers and the prices on those I don't think I will be buying.
No way I want to get a reference card that has heating issues, as well as we all know the new cards have their problems on release.
I prefer a card that has already been tweaked with and has the knots straightened out with better cooling.
Also, I would like to have my build completed by the 2nd week in December, so if the cards aren't out then I cant consider them.
I am also going to be checking out the Black Friday/ Cyber Monday deals and hopefully there will be something I can use.
Most likely a HDD.

Are there any other things I may need?
Wires, connectors, better power supply?
I already have Artic Thermal Paste and 3 Acer thin bezel 23" Monitors.

I have had some suggestions on the power supply.
Some say to get a 1000w because its good to have more than enough and be comfortable and some say to just get a cheaper 850w. I definitely want my build to run at its potential so if you think the power supply will make a difference with performance and reliability then please let me know.

I will be using this build to play Skyrim on Ultra Settings with a bunch of mods and ENB's active while on Nvidia Surround while streaming it on Twitch.tv with 2 accessory monitor TV's overhead, one using my browser and one using the program I monitor my Twitch.tv Stream.

I would like to do this with Skyrim, DayZ, and Battlefield 4.

I thought I would give a detailed explanation so it can be actually visualized and understood.

I will be running my 2 overhead TVs on my separate i7 integrated GPU.

The ones with the h100i are very noisy, i'd recommend changing them, Scythe GT's are very good


Go for the EVO and get a 780sli

Just a heads up , why not wait until the 790 is release ,

The fps increase is about 5-20 frames if its your job then 780's should be the call if youre struggling to find the extra $300 Then you dont need to panic.

For the psu 850 watt is recommended, if you are going to overclocked the gpus and/or cpu, then 1000 watts gives you that flexibility and head room

well, given the 3 monitors, then definitely go with the 780s (it got 3GB memory, which will be very useful for multi-displays on high res).
the R9.... well it is not optimized yet, and i do not know when, i really hoped AMD comes with a kickass high-end card.
your PSU is great quality and stable, stick with it.

For the case fans; I want to keep the high performance fans to replace on the h100i but I think the other fans are too expensive to keep. What do you guys think? Also should I upgrade to a 256 gb samsung pro ssd?

for the fans, well i do not know how much difference will it make, you might wait for someone more experienced about that to answer you.
abut the SSDs, i would suggest the Samsung EVO series, Samsung's SSDs are great, and the EVO has a better value than the PRO series.
