If anything is missing, or a quality or a bad product/not suitable is listed let me know, first time doing this Im spending around £800 its too risky for me and feel alittle nervous in case i make a mistake and waste my 800.

thats an amazing graphics card. would be better paired with an i5 if you can afford it. the cpu will be the choke point if anything. also i would go with 2x4gb ram not 8x1gb.

personally i would go with either an i5 and r9-280x or amd fx-8320 and r9-280x rather than the 290x with a weaker cpu.

OK so What are you suggesting, if I'm going for r9 290x which I would love to, I need a better CPU?, recommend me one please if possible.

either i5 or fx-8320/8350 is better matched with that card. but really the 280x is a great card also. and much cheaper it will play most games at ultra or very high settings.

the 290x will play all at ultra so will the standard 290 the
