Hey all, thanks to the help from PMC, my cousin has built his own custom gaming PC, and we wanted to share some pictures and whatnot. It cost him about $1800, and runs Minecraft at a LOW of about 200 FPS, while on max settings. He named it the Toaster because on Minecraft his skin is a Waffle, and yea xD. So here's some pics, and thanks to everyone who helped us choose the parts =)








Here's of video of it playing Minecraft w/ shaders at 1080p:

After using it for awhile, it runs so perfectly.
It's played all of these games at well over 60 FPS.
Dead Island - Don't know FPS, but well over 60 on max settings.
Titan Fall - 140 range, max settings.
Watch Dogs - 170 range, max settings.
Minecraft - he's been getting about 300 with max settings/shaders xD, however he capsed it at 60.

I have an i5-3570k and a GTX 650 and I get about 120-150 FPS in Minecraft Maxed settings. I feel like you should be getting more.

How does the 290x run other games? I'm assuming he's gaming at 1080p though the 290x is quite capable of 1440p or even 4k gaming.

So far we've only ran Minecraft and Watchdogs, it hits Watchdogs on ultra settings at 1080p with aboslutely no framerate issues whatsoever.
