Hey guys, I'm new here and I'm not really that well educated when it comes to customizing a gaming PC but I've always wanted one. I'm planning on building it around my Sapphire Dual-X r9 280x. I also have a Antec 550 PSU which, I know, needs to be upgraded to at least 750 watts.
I was wondering what kind of components, from PSU to CPU and everything in between, should I need that not only will benefit me from current high-end games but will also put up a fight for future games? The budget would roughly be around $750 or less since I already have a GPU.

did you want to cut down the price because I really would step up to an i5 if you can but everything else seems pretty good.No, I was just comparing the 4460 that Brunostako used to the fx-6300 and based on what I've read, the 6300 is superior a tad bit. I guess I don't know much how powerful the I5 is compare to any other processor.

Hey everyone,
So I made a custom build based on what you guys have proposed and I have came up with this. Please let me know if this works for a starter.
