Motherboard: MSI 970 Gaming

CPU: AMD FX 8350

Memory: 8Gb Gskill Ripjaw Z (Mhz is higher than mobo specs I know)

Case: NZXT 440

My question is what is the best GPU I can get that won't be bottlenecked by the other components.

Also what PSU should I get with these components + the recommended GPU?

I'd recommend a GTX 960 as it'll take any PSU you have from 450W to 1200W.

It also outperforms the R9 280 and is par to the 285.

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

The psu is oversize, but it's a great deal at the moment.
