Hi guys just wanted to get some input with my build, my upgrade path to be precise.

Already have these:
i7 4790k on stock cooler
Asrock z97 extreme 4
Gskill Ripjaws 4gb x 2 cl9
seasonic s12II 520 watt
Samsung 840 evo 120gb

Original upgrade path would be
H100i cooler
Gtx 750ti

Now I'm actually thinking of getting a beefier video card, maybe a saphire r9 280x dual x at USD334.237 (i converted that from our local currency PHP) so any inputs on that? Also will my PSU still be enough?

Possible other upgrade path
Cooler master 212x
r9 280x

R9 280x definitely would be a great improvement from gtx 750 ti you can switch from medium to ultra settings.
As for the PSU the r9 280x will consume around 210 watt while gaming at max settings the cpu at stock will consume around 120 watt and overclocked can consume 150 watt other peripherals say 100 watts.

So, 210 + 150 + 100 = 460 watt so i think you will have so problem with your PSU.

I would def get the r9 280x it will perform quite a lot better than 750ti. GTX 770 might not be a bad choice if you want nvidia features. having a 750ti strapped to an i7 is kinda pointless IMO as a G3258 or i3 is powerful enough to support a gtx 750ti.

That 750 ti is just so that I can have a multi monitor setup, I don't play as much as most people do, and when I planned to get the 750 ti it was all my budget can afford.
