Thanks for the suggestions guys, i will be buying them at the end of this month, did a lot of OT :p
Will update after i play BF4 at ultra settings, looking forward to it. :)
 
Hi Guys, I finally bought these components.

Intel Xeon 1230 v3 - 16800
Ga z87 D3HP - 11000
Corsair Vengeance - 5500
NZXT Phantom 410 - 6000

The crossfire setup with 2 R9 280x's is heating up the GPUs and the ATI drivers crash after a while of multiplayer in BF4. Got to get some more fans in. Will update the temps and the FPS once i get back home. Cheers :)
 
Plz let me know what are then temperature :) need to know it :-D as I have same cabby ! Plz did the cards fitted well without removing the hdd tray ?
 
Hi, the Toxic edition was a tight fit with the HDD bay so had to remove it for more air flow, the GPU temps are 80 degrees and 74 degrees at full load for both the cards. CPU runs at around 70 degrees at full load. Re-installed the AMD drivers with the latest beta and reduced 2 graphics options in BF4 to High and its not crashing now, it was crashing only because of overheating. Would not recommend people to Crossfire or SLI unless no other option, i have to do some major cooling for the cards and have to leave the side panel open when playing.
 
dude any particular reason why u went for intel xenon 1230 v3 instead of intel i5 4670....coz i compared them in cpuboss
... apart from the fact 4670 outperforms 1230...the former is also low on cost
...1230 just has higher l3 cache..
