Hi guys, I am thinking to upgrade my pc and im on a budget of 30000 Rs. which is approx. 500$. I have decided some parts that I think are good enough for gaming and using softwares like sony vegas, photoshop.etc @ 720p resolution. Just wanted to know will is the Gaming config good for running latest games now and for the future at 720p with high to ultra settings?
The Rig:
Processor: AMD FX 4300 3.8 GHZ Quad Core
Graphic Card: MSI R7 260x 2GB
RAM: Gskill RipjawsX DDR3 1333 mhz 8 GB (Not dual channel)
Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard (I need this motherboard it supports usb3.0, which my case requires... Cheapest usb 3.0 mobo i could find)
Power Supply: Corsair VS550 550W
Case: Cooler Master K281(Already bought it)
Hard Drive: WD Caviar Green 1TB (for my data) + Seagate barracuda 120gb (just for the OS) (I already own these so I dont need to spend on hard drives)
Is this good enough for running latest games at 720p at high or max settings and is it also future proof?
If you could suggest what changes can be done in the config... please do so.
Thanks..

That CPU and GPU was more than enough for 720p gaming at high settings.. However future proof on that system is a little doubt as the game makers go for hardware consuming heavy games.. Upgrading that GPU in future will do the trick :)

Which GPU do u recommend in 150-160$ range that is better than the r7 260x? And it shouldnt get bottlenecked by the fx 4300.

I said for now the config is good, in future you should upgrade and you didn't say the budget for upgrading it in the future..
