The rule of thumb is 1GB Per 1080P Monitor there are better brands than XFX however I've not had a single issue with my R9 280X

 

If you can I'd get the R9 290X Just for the extra horsepower if you can spare the money for it.

XFX is bad

Them and Diamond have lifetime warranties on their gpu's, so not so bad.

[ZaBoss]

Which gpu should I change to? I want it to run 3 HP 23xi monitors

[Totally-A-Hero]

i think your setup is fine, juist get a i5 instead of a i7

[Kimmaz]

you could try a Gigabyte Radeon R9 290 Windforce 3X 4GB

 

 I've had mine for a few days now, and its nice! It comes with 0 cables or accessories tho, so keep that in mind. only molex->6pin/8pin. Like my old card had a hdmi cable and a display port->hdmi come with it,, lucky for me, since i then already have that stuff around!

Hard Drive: WD Blue 1 TB Hard Drive

 

I dont understand why ppl still gets a 1TB on their new systems. I got a 1TB for my C: (system) but thats cause I cant afford a SSD. I think its not smart to get 1TB as storage, I mean just look at the prices. Get a 2TB or 3TB for almost the same price and way less money per TB.

These are local prices. You can see that a 3TB costs the same as 2 1TB disks. so like get one of those! =P

Excellent setup, but get a smaller PSU and an I5, cheers

Why an i5? Is it better?

[Leonard]

If you are talking about the XFX double dissipation GPU then sure, if it is a reference GPU then no. Add an 256GB SSD if you could.

 

Other than that i can't give any real choices because you didn't say where you shop. 

 

Enjoy your rig.

Why did you post this again?

Anyways... Try to get a diference R9 290, if you can the new Vapor-X is nice looking, quite and a beast of a card

I dont know much about that monitor, it is IPS though, for gaming try to get the RL2455HM, I think its cheaper

If you are only gaming get an i5, it is cheaper, but still is good enough even for rendering and stuffz

Get a different PSU like a XFX 650W XXX or the Core Edition

Get better speakers, like the Z623 from Logitech

[Devil0359]

Get a WD Black instead of the WD blue.
And get the r9 290 which has the highest clock speed.

I have had no problems and I believe their psus are re-branded seasonics which makes them some of the best

Ok fair point

Hey there, if you will be using the rig primarily for gaming then you could get the Intel Core i5-4690K.

The i7-4790K is more suitable in case you will be doing some graphics/video editing, rendering, etc.  

As for the hard drive,  you could take a look at the WD Black HDD which is specifically designed for gaming.

It has 64 MB cache which will reduce the load times and comes with a 5-year warranty.

Hope this helps.
