Never go AMD here are the parts I think are bad.

Motherboard: Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z ATX AM3+ Motherboard - £161.98 (AMD mobo)

Memory (RAM): Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3-2400 - £299.99 (Waste of money 16gb is more then enough)

Who needs 4 SSD's? HDD's are for storage not SSD's. (Waste of money)

Video Cards: AMD Radeon R9 290X 4GB (3-WAY CROSSFIRE) - £1221.45 [IN A 3-WAY CONFIGURATION: PRICE FOR SINGLE CARD IS £407.15] (AMD overprice cards due to bitcoin mining, triple SLI/crossfire is pointless your 2nd and 3rd card will only have around 30% usage meaning its pointless. Buy one card not 3)

PSU: Enermax Platimax 1500W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX - £286.98 (Don't go SLI and you will save money no one needs a £300 PSU)

Wired Network Adapter: Cisco N2XX-ABPCI03-M3= 10/100/1000 Mbps PCI-Express x4 - £317.50 (I have seen some shit but this is fucking stupid, £300 on a wifi card that will be no better then a £30 one, or get a cable for £10)

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) - £132.19 (Wasting more money, just buy professional)

Don't be stupid. Save for a car.

Pretty sure a 4930k would do it lel It's yours for only £422... Maybe not in 1080p but in 2560x1440 it would do it. Btw check below^

yeah.. you kind of have a point, i didn't really look at the prices at first ( it was late and i just checked on new topics and saw this).
However now i look at the prices... its a insane amount of money for something as simple as a computer, of course you can buy it but....meeh... its not necessary unless you want games on ultra hd resolution and 60 + fps in my opinion, also it will cost lots of energy i suppose.

Yes but he was about to buy one with the same performance as what i wrote down here for £4055. So this will give him same performance but half the price.
Some people got jobs and likes computers (aka got it as a hobby), I spent around £1700 on mine some months ago.

AMD sucks, agreed. And it's true that having over one SSD is useless and pricey.
 
And I paid 750€ for my computer 2 years ago, and still. I play new games, maybe not on max, but on high, or normal.
4k is ainsane amount of money. Some people buy cars for this.
