I consider to building a second-hand gaming pc. I want to play games like GTA 5, Fallout 4, Black Ops 3, DayZ, etc. in 1080p. I´m not sure which GPU I should take. For price comparison, I live in Austria. I alredy have everything else like the OS and the Peripherals.

The parts i would buy are:

 

Second-Hand:

-i7-2600k

-Asrock z68 extreme4 gen3

-Kingston HyperX DDR3 1866MHz 8GB (2x4GB)

-EKL Alpenföhn Groß Clockner

-Inter-Tech Coba Nitrox 500W (not used)

Cost: 350€

 

-ASUS Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 DirectCU II OC 2GB

Cost: 170€

or

-Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 290 4GB

Cost: 180€

 

New Parts:

-Patriot Blast 120 GB SSD

-CM Silencio 452

Cost: 125€

 

Is this a good gaming pc build or should i change something?

290=more fps, more power consumption, more heat, more noise ect. 

770=Quite a bit less fps, less hungy for power, less heat and possibly less noise

 

But the thing that's most important here is the 290 abused at all?? maybe mining or something could have permanently damaged the card. If you are sure the 290x is not abused at all the by all means go for the 290 but if not the probably 770 and everything else looks good except that PSU,,,Budget for PSU?

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

sorry for not replying but is it possible to push your budget upto 75 euros? as there are one's for around 60 but they are all 500w PSUs and with a 290, that's on the border line of how much it's going to draw so if you can spend the extra then get this:

and if not then...

I will take the xfx PSU with the 770 because the 290 was used for mining. 

Thank's for your help ??
