im planning on getting a pc on a budget so im trying to spend much on cpu and gpu and less on the other unimportant parts my specs are :
i5 4670k (not planning on overclocking)
xfx r9 280x double D
kingston hyperx 8 gb
seagate barracuda 1terabyte hard drive
and 750 xfx psu or something
now the motherboard that will be suitable for my budget since i wont overclock or chage any default settings is GIGABYTE GA-H81M-HD2 motherboard please help me deciding what should i do and thank you !
 
Solution
- Go for a non K version of CPU if you don't plan on overclocking.
- R9 280X if totally fine.
- cheapest 1600 Mhz Ram is Gskill or kingstom blu series.
- As for PSU, get XFX 550 unless planning in getting a second GPU.
i5 4670k (not planning on overclocking) .... I'd get the 4690 ... K useless if not OC'ing

xfx r9 280x double D - id do the 280 or 770

kingston hyperx 8 gb - at 1600 buy cheapest name brand (i.e. skip Team)

seagate barracuda 1terabyte hard drive - best choice at this price niche

and 750 xfx psu or something - assume you thinking crossfire at some point or larger than necessary

can't help ya there....I don't do H builds.
