Okay, then I'll be better off buying the 290. But I won't be crossfiring in the future, so can I replace the PSU with the cx 600 instead?

Is there a huge performance difference between r9 290x and non x?

hmm....then which 290x would you recommend me? is powercolour better ?

Okay. Thank you. :lol:

Okay then, thanks for telling me that. Do you have any more suggestions for this build? Since this is my first time building a pc, I don't really know much about parts selection. Can this build serve me well for my needs?

My budget won't allow me.

Okay, but in my country there's no 1231 v3 and does dual channel make a big difference? I do have an spare Samsung 840 Evo 120gb laying in my house though. Is that good enough or do I have to buy a newer SSD?

Yep it's compatible. This is an v3 Xeon not v2. Thank you anyway.

Hey guys, I'm building a new pc as my 5 years old pc has broken recently. I'm going to use this pc for some video editing ( AE, Premiere Pro and Sony Vegas Pro 12.0) and some gaming( Watch_Dogs, BF4 and some future games) After much research, I came out with this build (my budget is $700-$790). Since I'm a new builder, I would like some suggestions. Is this a solid build and how long will this pc last?

Okay...So which one is better for video editing(AE, Premiere Pro) and gaming?

Hey guys, this is my first time building a pc. As I'm restricted to my budget, I can only afford one of these...Which of these is the best bang for my buck? (I plan to edit some videos using AE and Premiere Pro and play some games like BF 4, AC ) AMD FX 8320+ MSI 280X Gaming Intel Core i5 4690k + MSI R9 280 Gaming Thank you.

I live in Malaysia. If it's MYR my budget is RM 2000-RM 3000. Here's the online store : http://www.lelong.com.my/merchant/Default.asp?UserID=feiton&show=List
