Needing advice on a build I have put together. Wanting to be able to game at medium/high settings at 1080p. I don't want anything in the FX-Series line. I don't need HDD's, SSD's, mouse and keyboard, or a monitor Need something that will be upgradeable in the future, and I care very much about aesthetics. Planning to O/C. Games: Dota 2, BF4, BF3, COD, Just Cause 2, COH 2, Watch Dogs, and Titanfall.

I posted a while ago and can't seem to get any responses about this same general type of thing. But as far as my knowledge goes the 750ti ain't that hot. Get a R7 270 or R7 260x, both amazing GPU for a low price
