Hi I'm looking to build a gaming computer that will play next gen games well. And I'm not sure where to start,
I was thinking something like this but not sure if it will do the job any help will be very good 😛

Amd fx - 9590 octa core 4.7GHz

Asus crosshair v formula - z motherboard

Amd radeon HD 7970 x- edition grapics card.


Well that's what I have been looking at and was wondering if this would be ok?
Or
Any other sugestions? Thankss
 
In my experience i would not go with amd always go with nvidia there is much more support and video drivers available. I recommend at gtx 670, gtx 770, or if you are really on a budget a a gtx 650
 
Your rig is great, but unless you wan't the hd 7970 badly as it comes with three free games from newegg, you should go for amd's r9 280x which is rebrand of hd 7970 and is also better performing than it. It will cost you around $299-$350, it's up to you and your budget. BTW fx 9590 is just an overclocked version of fx 9370, so if you have any budget probelem with r9 280x. You can buy fx 9370 as it is cheaper and overclock it to 4.7Ghz to get the same performance as 9590.
