My current spesifications is:

Intel core I5 3770K 3.4 - 3.8 Ghz
4 Gig ram (plannibg to get 16 Gig more)

650 Watts power supply

I'm curently looking at a Gigabyte AMD Radeon R9 270X.
So please tel me wich is the best I can get, it can be any type of card, but it must be inder $300.

I'd also suggest you hold off and go for the GTX770, it's a much better card than the GTX760 and with AMD prices in this upper segment still inflated by Bitcoin miners the R9 280/HD7950/HD7970 is out of budget. If you can't hold off the GTX760 is the best choice by far.
Only add another 4Gb of memory unless you're going to do memory intensive tasks, 8Gb is plenty for all other uses.

Sorry about that last answer. I'm still new with this.
I can get 20 bucks more that is no issue, I was just looking to not go to high in the budget range but $320 ain't that bad.

And thanks for the input on the HDD and ram. I was considering Corsair Vengeance and now I know that is what I will get. Its just the HDD, I want to get a 3 TB and use it as an external and then I'm going to use the 1TB that I'm currently using as an external now and use it as an internal. Do you know if you get a WD Caviar Blue 3TB?
And another thing is that I've heard that Gigabyte is a better brand as Asus, please correct me if I'm wrong.

GIGABYTE is the best GPU manufacturer. (My opinion.) Better cooling picks, better website than ASUS, better customer support.

You can get a WD Caviar Green 3TB.

WD Green drives are slow I would recommend
3TB Seagate External Hard Drive
or a 3TB Seagate Barracuda and I believe that the drive in side the 3TB External Drive is a Seagate

Thanx for the input, just one problem. I stay in South-Africa and the thing is that the GTX 770 card is R6000. So in other words, it is about $550 in South-Africa. But I'm going to try and see if I can buy and ship it cheaper if I buy from an other country. But if I can't I'm going to buy it for R6000/$550 as you say it is better.
Thanx

Can't you buy it from Newegg and ship it to where you live?
