Hi,

I am currently building my first gaming build and this is what I have so far:
PCPartPicker part list: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2dwVV
Price breakdown by merchant: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2dwVV/by_merchant/
Benchmarks: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2dwVV/benchmarks/

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor (£168.94 @ Amazon UK)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler (£23.98 @ Scan.co.uk)
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (£109.04 @ Scan.co.uk)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£71.76 @ Scan.co.uk)
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk (£69.95 @ Aria PC)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£49.00 @ Ebuyer)
Case: NZXT Phantom 410 (Black/Orange) ATX Mid Tower Case (£80.89 @ Scan.co.uk)


As you can see there are only a few parts missing such as the GPU and power supply. Now my problem is that I don't know what graphic card to get for this build.

My graphic card requirements are:
* Play games like BF4 & Cod Ghosts on Ultra
* Play other modern games on ultra
* Not very expensive (such as £500)

My budget is about £250 but I don't mind going over it for a quality gpu.

And...that's it :D 

Thank you :)

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. What about a GTX 760? (Are they too old now?)

It's not that they are too old it's just for only $100 more you get so much more performance.

If you go 290 then wait for non reference coolers to come out. 280x plays bf4 on ultra with 1920x1080 Res no problems. Otherwise the 770 is a much better choice than a 760

Yes, the 780 is good, but overkill if you are running a single screen at 1080p. The absolute highest end card you will need for a single 1080p setup would be a 770. And then you would need to use vsync on most games.
