Advice on choosing a Motherboard and Graphic Card

[RafaelMag]

Hi,

Need your help on choosing some parts for my desktop. I'm going to use it 60% of the time 3d design and the rest gaming. CPU chosen FX-8320.
For Motherboard I have this solutions, regarding price/performance should go for 970:
- Asrock 970 Pro3 R2.0 - 65€
- Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P - 69€
- Asus M5A97 R2.0 - 71€
- Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 - 72€
- Gigabyte GA-970A-D3 - 72€
- Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P - 74€
- Asrock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 - 75€
- Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 - 83€
- Asrock 970 Extreme4 - 84€
- Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 - 88€

For the video card, I chose:
- Sapphire HD7790 1G GDDR5 X1 - 98€
- MSI R7790-1GD5/OC - 111€
- Gigabyte Radeon HD 7790 OC 1GB GDDR5 - 112€
- Asus Radeon HD 7790 DirectCU II OC 1GB GDDR5 - 118€
- MSI Radeon HD 7850 1GB GDDR5 - 123€

The idea is building a price/performance pc whithout "bottleneck" each other components.

How many RAM do you think?

Thanks for the help.

None of those GPUs are awesome. Get the 7850 if you want to play comfortably at medium settings in new games. Some may run at a mix of medium and high.

16gb RAM is more than enough for anything you will do.
