Hey guys I've put together a list of parts for a gaming pc. They are:
CPU: I5 4690k
Motherboard: Msi Z87- G45
RAM: 8GB(4x2) G Skill Ripjaws X series
HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB
GPU: GTX 780 or R9 290X(need help on deciding which to get)
Case: Corsair 200R
PSU: Corsair CX 750W
Optical Drive: An Asus DVD/CD writer
OS: Windows 8
I need help deciding if I should buy the GTX 780 or R9 290X. They seem pretty close to each other in their capabilities. Which would be better in the long run? Do you have any other suggestions? I want this pc to be able to run max settings at 60 fps on most games for as long as possible. This build is going to cost about $1000 which is as high as I can go.
EDIT:I also like the sound of nvidia a shadow play feature. Is it good? I want to be able to make youtube videos and livestream on twitch too.
