I am planning on building a pc very soon and have chosen my parts
i5 4670k
8 GB RAM
250 samsung ssd
Asus Z87 Pro Mother Board
Corsair CX 750w PSU
But when I went on some other threads and on videos people said that R9 290x is for 4k gaming or is overkill for 1080p. Is that true? I will be using one 1080p monitor and would like to play at highest possible settings on upcoming games like GTA 5, Battlefield Hardline without dropping below 30-40 FPS. Can I downgrade to a GTX 770 and get my targeted performance? Also, if I get R9 290x do I have to get a better case with better cooling to be safe (current planned case is Zalman Z11). Also, are my parts compatible with each other and reliable and do I really need a non stock CPU cooler because I dont want to spend an extra £50 on a Noctua cooler. Any help would be apreciated!
