hi i am going to buy this pc and i know i ask alot of question but i want to make sure of every thing i have been saving for alot of time and this will last for 4-5 years with me



GPU Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 OC 2GB GDDR5 Windforce 3X
CPU intel core i5-4440 haswell 3.1ghz 6m lga 1150 quad-core desktop processor
MOBO MSI Z87-G45 GAMING Socket 1150 Motherboard
RAM corsair vengeance 8gb 2 x 4gb ddr3 1600 cl9 dual channel memory kit
XFX ProSeries 550W PSU 80 Plus Bronze 600

so is this good pc for gaming like gta V when it comes out i know there's no specs yet but may console experience give some tips :)

will R9 280x give a higher performance away for the benchmarks ? i mean in the real gaming experience ( does it worth the extra cost )

will the 4670k worth it above 1440 if am NOT going to OC
also the motheboard alot of friends told me not to go cheap with it as it's the base but if i am not going to overclock will this MOBO be a waste of money ?

plz give your opinion if any thing seems wrong here even if i forget it :)
if it's a waste what MOBO i can buy cheaper will be good for the future ?
i mean the last time i upgraded my MOBO didn't support i5 so i had to change the whole pc for that !!

Dear,

This mobo is with overclocking potential (Z87) whereas your CPU is non-overclocking one (4440). Either change CPU to 4670K or Change the mobo in H87/H81 chipset.

R9 280x is a good GPU but I'll recommend using GTX 770 than R9 280x. Pl mention your budget and region. I can post build for you then
