MotherBoard: Gigabyte B85M D3H
Graphics card: Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X 4 GB
Power Supply: Antec VP650P
Cabinet: NZXT Phantom
Ram: Corsair Vengeance (8x1) GB DDR3 RAM 1600 MHz
Storage: 1TB WD

THANKS!

looks like a reasonable build. it might max out every game this year and maybe next yeah aswell. and then probably another 2-3ish on high.

Change the RAM from 1x8GB to 2x4GB so you will run in dual-channel mode. This can be 3%-5% faster.

RazerZ · Jun 13, 2014

Your build looks good. I would reccomend to use 2x4GB sticks of ram if you don't plan on upgrading to 16GB later on.

EDIT: Onus beat me to it

Thanks a lot guys

i5 4670 + R9 290 >>>>>>>> FX 8350 + R9 290 right ??

i5 4670 wont bottleneck and will work great with R9 290 or shud i get i7 4770 for gaming ??

The i5 and 290 will be fine together.

radekmm · Jun 13, 2014

the 4770 is more future proof, but get the xeon e3-1230v3 instead. it's basically just an 4770 without an igpu. and i highly doublt you will ever use the igpu

In most games Intel does have a slight lead, so I guess you could say it's better. An i5 will have no bottleneck with the 290, it's a very capable CPU.

RazerZ :

Okay great thanks !
What about the heating of R9 290??
and should i get i5 4570 or i5 4670 ??

logainofhades · Jun 13, 2014

Either is fine. I would just get the cheapest of the two unless the price is very close.

Go with what logainofhades said. Performance is very close on both CPUs,

cydialover · Jun 13, 2014

logainofhades :

Okay
and also there wont be a heating problem with R9 290 vs R9 280x??

cydialover :

Considering you're not overclocking, please Consider a Xeon E3-1231v3 on a H97 chipset. Discount hyperthreading!

How many graphics card can i add in Gigabyte B85M D3H other then R9 290 and other in future ??
for crossfire ??

logainofhades · Jun 13, 2014

That board will only support a single graphics card. You can change it out for different card if you need more performance, in the future. The R9 290 is pretty powerful. By the time you have to replace it, you will probably be ready for a whole new system.

cydialover · Jun 13, 2014

logainofhades :

can you suggest me with a motherboard that supports 2 Graphics card ??
so that i could add another one in future

logainofhades · Jun 13, 2014

cydialover :

This is the least expensive one, that I could find, that will properly support dual graphics cards, and give you future Broadwell CPU support.
