I was thinking of getting the radeon R9 290 by SAPPHIRE and I was wondering if my case had good enough airflow to cool the card. I was planing to run the card at stock speeds (no overclocking) and every thing about the pc I plan to put it in is stock with the exception of the upgraded psu which is the corsair 750M. The Pc model #M51BC and comes up as the first search result. This is the link to the GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202043&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&PageSize=10&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&IsFeedbackTab=true#scrollFullInfo Also would it be better to wait for black friday/cyber monday for better deals on a gpu? I have been told they will often times go up in price rather than down in preparation for the holidays and if that's the case i'd rather buy sooner than latter but i'm more than happy to wait for a deal if it's just fear mongering.

Then it should be fine but adding a intake fan would help out a little but if you don't want to buy another fan the setup should be fine as long as you don't do some crazy overclocking .

what cpu do you have specifically? there are variations on that ASUS unit with different loadouts.


i recommend a gtx 960 instead, depending on the cpu you have as you will be running everything stock speeds

then i would not recommend the 290, your cpu is not good enough to get full performance out of it.


look into a gtx 960, or r9 380
