First Up : I'm new to building pcs. Been reading for a while so should be FINE. lol
This build is gonna be on the mid ranges but I found a great deal for the Graphics card..

So my question is what type of motherboards should I use with these(Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X OC and an Intel i5 4590)? Should it be a overclocking Mobo, I don't plan on overclocking anything, the 290 tri-x comes overclocked (Do I need a overclocking motherboard for the card?). If so, what would be some of the cheapest motherboards on the market that supports these. Will the Intel core i5 do any impact on the card (Like not delivering the max performance out of the card)?

Other specs are:
Antec High Current Gamer 620W Psu HCG-620(Ik this might not be enough, I'm trying to find something around the 650s)
Antec HGX500B-W Dominator ATX Case.
G.Skill RipJaws Series (2x4GB) DDR3 Ram
Seagate Barracuda HDD 1 TB
Windows 8.1 64 Bit OEI

Try not to include high end expensive motherboards cuz im on a budget! :D

Do you want to overclock the system?

No I don't. But if this system can't run graphically intensive games like crysis and battlefield without overclocking,
yes I do.

I don't know if I'm getting this wrong, but the Sapphire 290 tri-x says in it's system requirements that it needs a 750w power supply.. Should I upgrade to one of those?
