1. u wont need to upgrade anything within 3 months except powersupply if u wanna crossfire the 280x

2. u need a good 750watt powersupply. such as this

3. no ur powersupply doesnt have the juice capable for crossfire 280xs

Alee Haleem · Jul 8, 2014

i wasnt bothered with the case i got that case for 39$ so i guess it was a win win for me xD and yes im planning to upgrade my cpu in the end of this month cause this cpu was also bang for the buck i got it for 89$

wolverine96 · Jul 8, 2014

Very nice build! You put together an excellent budget gaming computer.
There's really nothing that will need to be upgraded any time soon. And yes, if you want to Crossfire, you will need at least a good 750-watt PSU.

Nice pictures!

iceclock · Jul 8, 2014

no need to upgrade ur cpu or graphic card setup or psu until a much latertime

Alee Haleem · Jul 8, 2014

And the whole thing cost me with headset screen and mouse and cables i mean literally everything cost me about 1350$!!!!

iceclock · Jul 8, 2014

thats pretty good sir. no need for upgrades except psu if u ever get another 280x

wolverine96 · Jul 8, 2014

Nice! You couldn't get anything close to what you have from Dell, HP, etc. at that price, including all the extras! Out of curiosity, how much did the PC itself cost, without the monitor, keyboard, headset, etc?

Alee Haleem · Jul 8, 2014

is it worth it to crossfire r9 280x i can get r9 280x for about 200$ and psu for about 150$ so is it worth it ? and how future proof will my build be? like when ill need to change anything in it?

iceclock · Jul 8, 2014

u dont need to change anything atm. no point in getting a second 280x unless u do multi-monitor gaming or 1440p gaming. or like max ultra graphics

Alee Haleem · Jul 8, 2014

wolverine96 :

hmm i got the pc for less than 800 maybe 775 or something

Alee Haleem · Jul 8, 2014

iceclock :

i do like max ultra graphics but im willing to decrease anti-aliasing i dont believe in that thing i can almost see no difference more than 2x

iceclock · Jul 8, 2014

u dont need another gpu atm

Alee Haleem · Jul 8, 2014

iceclock :

what about watch dogs and crysis 3 will i be able to run at ultra settings with low anti-aliasing?

iceclock · Jul 8, 2014

watchdogs is not optimized so no crysis3 possibly ud have to try it.

vagrancyx · Jul 8, 2014

pretty good build, not my style with LED'S but overall not bad. Not a fan of razer gear..but to each his own.

wolverine96 · Jul 8, 2014

LOL, My build has green LED fans and a Razer DeathAdder 2013 I got on sale. Love them!

Alee Haleem · Jul 8, 2014

i own corsair gear set and razer gear set and logitech gearset everything has its use but atm im sticking to what is most comfortable you know what i mean

the corsair is vengance kit mouse,keyboard,mouse pad it comes in bundle
and logitech i got all used and razer is the newest but i hate something called mechanical keyboards cause it might wake the children at night and even maybe the neighbours....

vagrancyx · Jul 8, 2014

Yeah ive never been a fan of mechanical keyboards..way too damn loud.

iceclock · Jul 8, 2014

mechanicals keyboards are the best

Alee Haleem · Jul 8, 2014

they are precise indeed and give you edge gaming but they are noisey chak chak chak chak!

iceclock · Jul 8, 2014

depends on the kind of cherry u pick

Alee Haleem · Jul 8, 2014

iceclock can you help me with ocing the r9 280x to the max?!

wolverine96 · Jul 8, 2014

I must say, I like my Ducky Shine III mechanical keyboard. It has Cherry MX Red switches, and it's not obnoxiously loud. Blue switches would wake the dead, and I think Brown or Black switches are the quietest. One nice thing is that you can remove the keycaps, and this makes it easier to clean.

iceclock · Jul 8, 2014

er im not the best to ask best ask in the overclocking section
