My Questions
Any advice on a good motherboard for the i5?
Should I upgrade my ram?
Should I get a SSD for load times or hold out for better prices/size?
Anybody know of any good case deals going on now that would fit the r9 290 12"?
Good cooler for the i5?
Looking to play GTA 5, Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward, Witcher 3, Battlefield Hardline and Rainbow 6 siege at 1920x1080 with decent/stable fps do you think my part choices so far are okay?
Thanks for any and all feedback.
