choosing a gpu. .-.

[BurgerBum]

so i wanna be able to handle three monitors, gaming on one. ... . 60+ fps in most games... medium/high settings.

any coolers, fan reccomendations would be nice too.

budget: worth the money. nothing over 750$.

heres my current setup. i'll be choosing psu and case later.

oh, and... if you see any dumb descicions for just gaming, with skype and a few other programs open.... fix em.

R9 280x if you only game at 1080p, no point in going above (this card will get you ultra settings on everything by the way, if you only want medium/high go for a 270 instead). If you want surround gaming, the 280x will do ok but you're better off with a 290 (epic price/performance high end card). 750$ are WAAAAY too much for 1080p ^^

 

Your cpu might be somewhat of a bottleneck by the way, bare that in mind.

[Clyne]

pretty sure at 750 for the entire budget and at 3 monitors isn't gonna be good but i'll try

r9 280x is your best bet, if you got a r9 290 then you would go out of budget

ignore that

op wanted 750 for gpu, then a r9 290x should be fine

Triple 240p or triple 8K. What resolution you looking?

[WereCat]

That $750 budget is only on GPU or GPU+Case+PSU+Monitor??

 

I would say that R9 280(x) would fit your build and if you can afford something more beefy then R9 290.

doesnt need to game at 3 monitors.

thankyou... i'll look into it.

any suggestions for a non-bottlenecking cpu? (i wont be doing much editing, modeling, rendering, blah blah.

 

[BurgerBum]

the 750 USD budget is just for the gpu!

but if you can find something that handles 1080 60+ fps on med/high settings and still have room for the psu and case, great!

Ideally an i5 4690k, but the difference isn't THAT marked. Before you consider upgrading it you should probably get the gpu, see how it performs and decide if you really want 10-15 fps more.

 

-edit- just noticed that you don't own the parts yet. Then I recommend the i5, if you have the money for it (by the way it makes no sense to buy an apu if you are getting a dedicated gpu, you should get an athlon instead if you want to spare money). If you can't afford the 4690k or the 4570 you can go for an fx 8320 and overclock it (with a dedicated cooler like a hyper 212 evo of course).
