Dell xps 8300 gpu upgrade

[seraj5]

Hello, i need to upgrade my computers gpu which is currently a gt 530. I was looking at a 280x with a aftermarket cooler which is about 400$ in my country. The other option is that i buy a r9 290 for about the same price without an aftermarket cooler but instead buy a arctic accelero iii for about 100dollars. I will be about 50dollars more expensive for me but i think i can handle that, the question is if everything will fit and i have no experience in gpu coolers.

specs

i5 2320 3.0ghz

geforce gt 530

8gb ddr3

psu - corsair 600w 80+bronze

IF you have anything else you would recommend please post it, thanks in advance

You cant overclock that CPU much as its not a K series (K is unlocked for overclocking) so you are wasting money on an aftermarket cooler for your CPU so buy the better GPU

You might be over-spending a little on the GPU. You have a decent processor, but not anything blazingly fast. You would see amazing improvements buying a GTX760 or HD7870 / 270X. GTX770 or HD7970 / 280X puts you fairly high on the available GPUs. GTX 780/Titan/780 Ti or 290 or 290X is a serious step into high end GPU territory and might be bottlenecked by your system.

It makes more sense if you plan on replacing the rest of the system at a later time.

The Arctic family of GPU coolers are relatively easy to install, the provided instructions are adequate, but there are videos and reviews on parts websites that are better guides and will help you avoid pitfalls.

the gtx 760 in my country sells for 300dollars and i though about it but i dont know. If i buy that i probably wont be upgrading my gpu for 3 years but i had another idea. If i bough one gtx 760 now and after 1 year buy something similar to i5 4670k and then i just sli the card. i probably have to upgrade the psu though

well i'm pretty sure the psu could handle the 760.

I had bought a powercolor 7970 before and i got gold award http://amd4u.com/radeonrewards/. but i rdm the card and got my money back so what if i sell the most expensivest games (3 games) for 150$ or more. My friend said that he would buy thief 4 from me when its out for 90$. And my uncle was thinking of buying my cpu, gpu and the stock dell psu (460w) I would get around 400-450$ in total.
250$would go for an i5 4670k in my country and since my dad is paying 150$off the gpu i would need to pay about 300$ and then i would get an awesome computer. What do you guys think i should do?
