Need help deciding on 2 components for new pc build

[brkkab]

I'm currently in the process of getting parts for a new computer build.
So far I have a Asus Maximus VIII Hero mobo and a Samsung 850 EVO 500GB. M/2 ssd for it. I'm also going to be re-using the Seagate Barracuda 3.0TB h.d , Intel 530 Series 400GB ssd (for Games), Lite On DVD-RW, Lite ON Blu-ray burner and memory card reader from my current pc.
I'm also going to be getting a NZXT Phantom 820 case. G-Skill Ripjaws-Z DDR 4 3200 ram (32GBS) and a Corsair HX-1000i psu for the new pc.
I need suggestions between the following part's for the new pc.
The heatsink is either going to be a EK-XLC Predator 240 or a Corsair Hydro Series H-100i GTX.
With either one, I'll be using 4 EK-Furious Vardar FF5-120 (3000rpm) fans in push/pull.
I also need help deciding between 2 GeForce GTX 4.0GB or 2 AMD Radeon 390X 4.0GB video cards.
I'm ordering a Intel Core i5 6600K cpu on Thursday and eventually plan on upgrading it to a Core i7 6700K in early 2017.
Keep in mind, I'm on permanent disability (Social Security) for life and can't afford to spend over $300.00 on a part/s in a month.
The pc won't be built until May as I won't have all parts until then minus the new video cards.
I'll be using my current GeForce GTX 760's until then, but they need to go back inn this pc, so I can sell it.
All suggestions appreciated between the AIO's and video card's.
P.S. PC will be running Windows 10 Pro x64.

We got new Crimson ReLive driver's yesterday, too.

Just out of interest Keith, how many apps do you have installed?

 

[nmsuk]

I'll be waiting for Vega. Then waiting some more for their price to drop.

kemical: It will take a few to figure it out.Let's see 31 games, 51 programs & 30 modern app's.
I use all of them, though.
I've weeded a lot out over the last 3 clean installs.
Once I do the 2 ssd upgrades, my game's are gonna increase.
I have 3 on my to get list and a bunch I don't have installed now.
I've weeded some of my games out, too.
If they don't support or can't be hacked to display at 2560x1080, they're gone. Also, they have to work with a Xbox 360/One Controller.
According to Secunia PSI, I have 103.

Yay, finally. I just got back from my surgeons visit. As of my next visit on May 25th, I may be able to start walking, etc.
Maybe, I'll wait until a few days after that for the Predator install.
The other question will be if I want to put the 1TB m.2 ssd in then, too or wait until August for the sata one and do both at once, thus only one clean install of everything.
I was actually expecting bad news on my ankle today.
Reason being my right ankle and calf have cramped upp and locked up on me 3 or 4 times now.
Where I was forced to have all weight on my left leg, ankle and foot.
Cutting out that risk for doctor's visit's by leaving the walker home and taking the wheelchair.

Fyi that the Gog galaxy is officially announced now... I jumped the gun a bit last week but it available to download now if you want to try it

Ussnorway: Thsnks I'll have to check it out right now.

I had a quick look in there today and noticed 'The Witcher' now costs a dollar or equiv'. Glad i got my freebie yesterday and like the other two games it's impressive despite it's age.

I like the Witcher 3 Wild Hunt GOTY's graphics. Really well doneI can't wait until the 25th when I can actually have weight on both legs. Then I can actually mess with my games again.
I think I made a good plan for myself.
Prior to the 25th, I'm gonna increase the leg exercises I can do.
On the 25th once I get home from my appointment the walking begins. I'll probably start out with my front lawn for awhile, then proceed to in house walking for a hour. Then take a break. Then head back outside and walk up/downhill to my landlords next door to me.
Then, Sebastian & I do the lawn together on his leash and the uphill/downhill, too.
Another break and then we walk up my street past where I got attacked by the dog. If dog comes after us, Sebastian has fun. If not Sebastian & I go home for awhile and then we walk to 7-11 and he gets a donut or two. I get some for Bo the other dog, too.
The next day I walk Sebastain & Bo a few times.
If my leg feels normal, I proceed to take short rides on my mountainbike to 7-11 to reget used to it.
That I'll do for a few dys and then make the rides longer.
Then, I'll unhook my pc and see if I have issues lifting it,leg wise, if no, case fan and watercooler get taken out and new ones get put in.
If my leg's o.k., Sebastian and I go for his normal walks The whole neighborhood and then 7-11 or up by where his veterinary is. Not too far up the street from 7-11.

Go steady on those legs Keith, I know from personal experience not being able to walk around is a huge pain in the ass.. Get well soon Bud!

 

[nmsuk]

Yes get well and leave the internals of your PC alone for awhile and just play games on it.

 

[brkkab]

The pc part of it I'm gonna cheat on, when I move it. Thanks to the anti-static mat I have, this will work. I can unhook everything and slide my desk to my bed and do it on top of the anti-static mat there. I'll just have my bed sheets in the washing machine at the time I do it

I just came across some good news on Tom's Hardware. Ek Water Blocks has finally started selling the CPC Quick_Disconnect Coupling for my Predator and other radiators, etc. Article link: EK Water Blocks Releases Standalone CPC Quick-Disconnect Couplings

 

[brkkab]

I'll be doing all the changing and replacing with new hoses, fittings, etc. probably in another 2 years.

 

[ussnorway]

well its nice to have a plan... get well mate!

Now it figures the ssd prices jumped up. If the current prices stay that way until August, I'll be getting 2 of the Samsung 850 EVO 1TB sata ones, instead of 1 sata and 1 m.2. The sata is almost $350.00 now and the m.2 is around $380.00.
I'm gonna try and swing the sata one Wednesday.
Next month, I'm gonna see if Amazon sells Amazon gift cards. If they do, I'll use them for the m.2 ssd as they only charge $320.00 or so for it.

 

[brkkab]

I can't do that with the first one, as last month's gift card was for Newegg. Prices went up on the m.2 there since then.

 

[kemical]

Prices went up on the m.2 there since then.

Apparently it's due to a shortage of NAND Flash memory

[nmsuk]

There are only a few companies doing nand. Well decent nand anyway. We have Micron, Hynix and Samsung. As they're all moving to a better process they're having issues keeping up with demand for all these ram chips we need be it for dram or ssd.

 

[brkkab]

Yeah, that and companies take any opportunity to rip us off, too.
