i7 4790k + GPU

[jasonboii]

I just purchased a i7 4790k! Woohoo! I ordered the mobo already so they both should be coming fairly soon.

 

Now I have about 150 left over which means I can purchase about a R9 290 should I go for that or a NVIDIA card such as a 770?

 

780, 970,980, 290x onwards are too expensive here in the UK (even on ebay!) so Which card would you recommend around the $225 spot (150 pounds)

 

I play games such as Arma 3, Minecraft, Battlefield 4, H1Z1, will be playing GTA V and also do rendering and video-editing on the side.

 

Will the R9 290 play good with the Intel series? I haven't seen much people with AMD cards with a i7 4th Gen Processor.

it'll be fine lol. why would there be a problem mixing amd with an intel processor?

I would go R9 290 I have two of em, I ran one for a while. Its a great card.

280 will work, OR save your pennies for a 780 ti or a 390x

A GTX 970 is over 150 pounds more than a R9 290 here, yeah i know stupid. It'll take me ages to save up.

dont know why it double posted mine but alright then

What about if I get one 290 now and another in SLI later to save money?

[TJarsun]

R9 290 is a good choice, works fine on intel cpus, but if you find a deal for a 970 I would take it!

[Vexzarium]

LoL Intel + Radeon is an awesome combo.

 

I have the i5-4690k + 290x Lightning.

 

I'd say shoot for a R9-280, 280x, or if you want a newer architecture, the R9-285. Even a R9-290 is sweet if you can snag one at the right price.

 

I picked up a Sapphire HD7970 last night for $150 on Newegg. The HD7970 is basically a 280x. So maybe you can find a good deal on a HD7970 over the pond.

R9 290 will be a very good choice for you, theres no interfering between intel and amd cards, just because they are competitors in the CPU Market (maybe you cant call them competitors anymore, lol). I run a Xeon with a 280x and it performs like a charm <3
