Hello guys,
Wanted to upgrade my graphics card in my old Pre-built Xps 8300 but the mobo didnt support the graphics card I wanted, an AMD R9 290, and decided to make my first ever build
. I'm not really tech savvy.
I plan to use the my current power supply (750W Corsair), and the dedicated sound card and wifi card that came with my Dell. I'm not to sure if I need a new CPU though which is currently a i7 -2600 non K. I was planning to use a case like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=11-147-107
for the airflow, to help keep my card cool. The cards i was thinking about was

with a motherboard like

I'm not sure if this would be good setup for me. My budget right now is about $700. Please recommend what I should get
