Hi, me again. Some of you might remember me earlier post about this being my first gaming rig and all. I told everyone that I would end up going with the LinusTechTips 2014 Holiday Budget Build, but I have since ventured elsewhere. Here's what I have so far:

CPU:

 AMD Athlon X4 860K Black Edition

 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113379

$75

MOBO:

 MSI A78M-E35

 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130741

$60

 Case/PSU Combo:

 Cooler Master Elite 350 Case

 Cooler Master Elite 350 PSU

 http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Elite-350-CMP/dp/B003O2KEPC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1436836978&sr=8-1&keywords=elite+350+500w

$60

RAM:

 Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB 240-Pin DDR3

 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148540

$50

SSD:

Kingston 120GB SSD

 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820721107

$60

Pretty decent, right? I kept the same amazing case/psu combo, but thats about it...However, I have left out one of the most crucial parts of any gaming rig: the GPU. I'm stuck between two very promising looking GPUs; the GTX 750 Ti, and the R7 265. If, by chance, I am told to go for, the 750 Ti, should I go for the Sc or Ftw?

Or just get the R7 360 ... That works too ... 

... Life is a game and the checkpoints are your birthday , you will face challenges where you may not get rewarded afterwords but those are the challenges that help you improve yourself . Always live for tomorrow because you may never know when your game will be over ... I'm totally not going insane in anyway , shape or form ... I just have broken English and an open mind ...

R7 360 is worse than both of those.

Get the R7 370, newer version of the R7 265. It is better than the 750Ti.

It's fine, the 300 series rebrands are confusing. They all come with minor power efficiency improvements, etc, but R7 260 = R7 360, R7 265 = R7 370, R9 285 = R9 380, R9 290/X = R9 390/X ( double the VRAM, minor performance boosts). The R9 270, 270X, 280, and 280X got left behind, along with the R5 230, the R7 240, the R7 250, the R7 250X, and the R7 260X.

Just keep in mind though that the 750 ti runs a lot cooler than the 265 and is way more power efficient. Have also read that the 265 while having more raw horsepower cannot be overclocked as much as the 750 ti. Both cards are more or less in the same ball park and have their own strengths to look at so get whichever card's features you like the most.

99 little bugs in the code, 99 little bugs, you take one down, you pass it around... 10335 little bugs in the code :mellow:

Try and find an r9 270 which normally costs the same as both of the cards you mentioned but performs much better.

I'd try to avoid that V300 SSD.... Everything else seems fine...

r7 265 gives a few more fps in most benchmarks.

How does this look to everyone?

Looks fine. But you really don't want that v300 ssd. Everyone avoids it like cancer.

One more question. Pcpartpicker says that my mobo many need a bios update. Is this true? If it is, can anyone provide me with another mobo in the same price range?
