3. Monitors
i will upgrade my monitor to a 1920x1080p later

4. Peripherals
no peripherals. i still dont know if i should go for windows 7 or 8 for my OS.

5. Why are you upgrading?

what gpu should i get? i can buy the r9 270 or the r9 270x. is the extra 20$ worth the little performance boost? im not gonna overclock it right away. maybe sometime in the future

 

secondly, is my mobo good? i want to have the option to crossfire and overclock it later, but its a micro atx so im still unsure about it. im also looking at this one :

The gigabyte mobo is one of the best in the A88 chipset line up. And GPU wise either save up for one 280X or buy a 270 now and a 280X later. Two GPUs might be bottlenecked by the CPU as it is not the most powerful but any single GPU will do fine with it.

GTX 780. about 600 bucks I think with our shit tax so yeah. Runs everything perfectly on 1920x1080. Get the DirectCU II variant from ASUS. I recommend looking at either NCIX or Canada Computers.  Wait do you mean your whole build is going to be 600 bucks? If so then scratch that.

i think he mean 650 for the whole thing

r9 270 is a good gpu for the price no need for the X just make sure u get a decent cooler

 

edit: for $350 (which looks like the rest of ur budget) u could get a 770 maybe

i cant remember if the 760 is better than 270. check that out i guess
