thank you all for all of your help i am going with the 970 and when i get this thing built i will be sure to upload it to linustechtips.com

i am getting a different cpu cooler but pcpartpicker would not show it so ya

i also am getting a Samsung 120gb ssd

here is all the parts in my build ]Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($342.98 @ Newegg) /msi-motherboard-z97gaming7]MSI Z97-GAMING 7 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($166.98 @ Newegg) ]G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($124.98 @ Newegg) ]Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($54.99 @ Newegg) NZXT H440 (Black/Red) ATX Mid Tower Case ($144.98 @ Newegg) Corsair CSM 750W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($73.99 @ Newegg) Acer G226HQLBbd 60Hz 21.5" Monitor ($99.99 @ Newegg) Acer G226HQLBbd 60Hz 21.5" Monitor ($99.99 @ Newegg) ]Acer G226HQLBbd 60Hz 21.5" Monitor ($99.99 @ Newegg) Cooler Master CM Storm Devastator Gaming Bundle Wired Gaming Keyboard w/Optical Mouse ($29.86 @ Newegg) Total: $1238.73

so the 290 is a good card that was my first choice but so many benchmarks show the 970 as the better video card

Hey guys i am trying to pick a card for a personal build and i am stuck between the MSI GTX 970 and the MSI R9 290 they both run at 4 gb they both are just a little over 300 dollars which is where i see the sweet spot to be and they are both msi. (I JUST LIKE THE RED AND BLACK) the gtx 970 is a little bit better of a card but there was all that stuff where you only get 3.5gb of video memory when they promise you 4gb what card do you guys think i should get. if you need my other pc specs just tell me and i will upload them

no i do not want to overclock i will in the future but not now

nevermind found answer from the power of youtube

I am wanting to run amd eyefinity across three monitors but i have looked all over the web about this card and all i can find is people saying how cool it stays and how awesome it looks i cant find some general knowledge on it and i was hoping yal could help me. if this card will not than what card will preferably under $300 This is the card im thinking about getting MSI Radeon R9 290 Gaming 4gb 512bit GDDR5

well this seems really one sided so i guess im going with the 290 thanks guys for all the help

ya i was going to go with the 290 but it is 110 bucks higher than the 280 and i dont see much of a difference in the cards other than 1gb

I am trying to decide which graphics card to get either the msi R9 290 or the msi R9 280. which one is better for playing games on. I dont have to max all the games out i just want them to be playable and enjoyable

thanks for all the help guys i am going to stick to this build but i will think about changing my 1 8gb dimm to two 4gb just for the performance aspect of it. im glad im learning about this stuff. yal were a lot of help
