Hey. imma buy a gpu + cpu for my computer. It has nough PSU voltage and I got 8gb ram. I'm using the computer for: using several 4-5 windows of google chrome including youtube video/Music + watching livestreams on it. This is what happens on my right monitor. On my left monitor I play League of Legends. So I'm multitasking alot. I from time to time like new games with high Graphics to play FOR EXAMPLE: Skyrim.. I have two monitors like I said. I prefer being able t stream with the computer. I dont want to overclock it. my mother board is the z77 extreme something. My budget is fairly high but I wont buy anything unnessecary like the overpriced titan graphic cards. I wont buy the ones you link me since I live in Sweden where most of the Shipping is free but please give me many models for me too compare price/quality.

What GPU you can use depends on the PSU you have.

What CPU you can use depends on the motherboard you have.

A budget would be great before anything but I don´t think that browsing and gaming is multitasking a lot :p 

An i5 3570k (is the best cpu for the money you could get) and a gtx 760 will be plenty for 1080p gaming if you have the money, for graphics cards for every range of price check this:

please be clear and precise about what parts you have, as well as budget and preference.
if you have an asrock z77 extreme4 or extreme6, you'd need an intel cpu, preferably core i5 3570k or 3770k or any other.
as for gfx card, it is difficult to recommend you something without knowing your budget and existing parts and specifications.
also specify what resolution(s) you'd be playing at. for example, an r7 260 would be inadequate for a display or two with 2560x1600 resolution.

Definitely an i5-3570k

And the GTX 760 will give you sweet performance for 1080p at a good price.

If you want more power to max games, the GTX 770. But their prices have been on the rise lately.

For a 4 year old PC stock E-Machines that took anything I threw at it ...including the
Phenom 910e
without a hiccup. What a step up from an Athlon IIx2 235e
The ET 1331G-03w was the only one they made that was worth a damn (the only original parts left are the case, HDD- a fast Seagate w/32mb cache, and mobo)
Of course the SATA cables are at an angle because the 270x lays right on top of the SATA port

with your gtx titan as reference, all we have is that you don't want to pay $800-$1000 or equivalent for the gfx card. that's a high limit, and covers almost every mainstream gfx card in the market. that's why i tried to cover from r9 290 to r9 270x.
unless you provide a price range in swedish currency or it's u.s.d. equivalent, this is as far as i can recommend.

I searched for the radeon 290 it in the Swedish netstores and the cheapest one I found was this one: https://www.alina.se/Produkt.aspx?T2=21227-00-50G but it's from Sapphire. Does it make any difference or?

unfortunately yes, it makes a difference. not in a good way. that card is amd's reference design and the cooler on it is garbage. that's why i linked to an r9 290 with non reference cooler. most 3rd party r9 290/290x cards with customized coolers like asus direct cu ii or msi twinfrozr/trifrozr or sapphire toxic/dualx/vaporx would perform much better than the reference one.
i don't see any non-reference r9 290 cards on that site. since i still don't know your budget, all i can say is that if you want r9 290 level card, wait till you can gets your hands on a card with non reference cooler and at a sane price (likely after cryptocurrency hype ends, provided that sweden has also caught the same litecoin fever). if you must buy right now, might start looking at alternatives.

Here's the Swedish site for the cheapest alternatives for Graphic cards: http://www.prisjakt.nu/ . Ile leave it in the hands of a pro (you). Search for Radeon 290/290x and check for the BEST alternative there in the search field "its in english". Both the best 290 and the best 290x and ile leave you with a kiss and "pick as the solution". Thanks!

sorry to disappoint you, not a pro. there are many more people (includes swedish users) who know better than i.
i just blindly searched that site and the following are the ones have non ref. cooling (both r9 290 and 290x (didn't know that was an option)):
Gigabyte Radeon R9 290X Windforce
http://www.prisjakt.nu/produkt.php?p=2407648
Gigabyte Radeon R9 290 Windforce 3X
http://www.prisjakt.nu/produkt.php?p=2416970
Sapphire Radeon R9 290 TRI-X
http://www.prisjakt.nu/produkt.php?p=2420786
strangely google translate isn't working for me right now.
anyway, according to google's shows exchange rates, the gigabyte windforce 3x r9 290 costs around $625 (using 4100 kr as reference)... that's lot more than it's msrp (in usd), almost similar (!) to newegg's price. and the gigabyte r9 290x windforce 3x comes to $776 (using 5100 kr as ref.) i am not familiar with sweden's usual prices are but those don't look normal to me.

Please check Newegg or whatever you can do to check if they are priceworthy.


Is like 200 usd more than what they originally costs but that sapphire is good enough for 1080p with almost every game out there right now.
