Go to solution Solved by ZetZet,

That's the highest GPU I'd put in that build.

nah 860k is not that bad

 

 

 

Get r9 270/x or r9 280 at the most.

I'd say r9 270 and ssd would be sweet for you.

Mainly the GPU in this situation

 

budget is $250

 

The build :http://pcpartpicker.com/p/GG343C

 

The help is GREATLY appreciated, tis for a friend :D

Upgrade the GPU first to maybe an R9 280? You'll have to upgrade the CPU later on because you might see some bottlenecking, but the weakest link right now is definitely that graphics card
