Need help with 2 builds - which is best?

[Deleted]

Well I have really looked and researched but still cant reach a conclusion on which one to get.

I have a budget (1800 dollars/10.000 DKK) but at the same time, I'd rather give a little more for something "great" than be greedy and get something "good". Not sure if anyone can follow me on that perspective, but yeah

Current monitor is LG 24' Full HD 1920x1080 - do i need a new monitor for any of these?

NVM the title...

but do you have any advice or anything you would do differently on this build ?

Core i7 I7-4770K 8 MB (Intel Boxed)

Things thta I've noticed that you may want to change, depending on usage:

1) drop the i7 to the i5-4670k unless you do heavy rendering/streaming work;
2) AX860i is mostly for continuous usage, IIRC, so you can easily change that to a viable 750-800W for future SLI/Xfire usage;
3) Same goes for the 16GB of Vengeance RAM as for the CPU;
4) GTX770's okay for playing games, but unless you're streaming/rendering, then I'd plump for the R9-290 customs when they come out in the next 6 weeks or so;
5) Don't get the 256GB 840 Pro unless you absolutely need the warranty - go for the 240GB 840 EVO;
6) Not sure about that case, but depending on the price, I'd go for something like the mid-tower Thermaltake Overseer or the Corsair 200R/300R.
