6985 so, the whole new PC is going to cost me 7000 LE I want th PC for gaming but at the same time I dont want to get AMD cpu as they overheat

I feel your GPU is a little weak compared to your CPU, I'd get an R9 270x minimum.

If you need to, drop the CPU to something like an i5 4670 and a cheaper H or B motherboard so that you can get a better graphics card.

FYI Sound cards don't do that much, they're not really necessary. The one on the motherboard is usually great.

I agree with JOOK-D

Get a better graphics card if your budget supports. You can cut budgets by getting an AMD Processor like the FX 8350, getting a cheaper case and you dont need a 600W psu to power up this system. A 500W is enough.
And what are these +1800 numbers after your specs?

JOOK-D :

If I get a an R9 270x will the CPU be able to handle it? also If I got the R9 270x wont this build be exposed to high overheatin? will I need a particular strong cooling system after this build by adding the R9 270x or no?

pfunkmd · Mar 1, 2014

You don't really need the sound card you can put that money towards a better GPU

i5 4670k CPU will not bottleneck any graphics card available as of today.

The numbers are the price in my country of each item I have , and I think I5 is better than AMD because of the overheating issue

That cpu can run any card out and the 270x runs very very cool.

Evan_Hany :

Yes i5 is better than fx 8350 in terms of performance, but if you want to cut budget, 8350 is a really great processor at its price and heating is not an issue with it.

What if I get SAPPHIRE DUAL-X R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 OC WITH BOOST instead of the SAPPHIRE R7 260X 2GB GDDR5 OC

the difference between them is only few pounds. Will this do?

pfunkmd · Mar 1, 2014

I think you are worrying to much about overheating. With that case and a few fans you will be totally good no matter if you get AMD or Intel.

verma1891 · Mar 1, 2014

Evan_Hany :

Yes it will. Can you tell us your currency and your budget? we may be able to provide you with an overall better performing system.

Well, I live in Egypt so I use *pound* and I my budget is 7000 but if it is needed I can push it up to 7500 and I use http://www.egprices.com/ to know the prices in my country
