its an i3, look on his profile brah

I dont like to open profiles in new tabs all the time so I only take whats in the sig :P

 

an i3 4170

I dont think a 290 or 780 will be maxed with that so go for what you can get cheaper. Even consider used - on the AMD just make sure it doesnt look like it was used for cooking.. ;)

so what gpu do you suggest?

like I said. the one you can get cheaper. in terms of performance they are pretty even. since your CPU could be a bottleneck at the highest load it doesnt make any sense to go for the last % of performance here. so price is everything
