Good build to go with XFX Radeon R7 260X 2GB Core Edition Video Card?

[tizer123]

I recently got a XFX Radeon R7 260X 2GB Core Edition Video Card and (4x) G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1866 Memory from a friend. I am planning on trying to get the best bang for my buck for the rest of my build. I was wondering what might be a good CPU, CPU cooler, mobo, case, power supply, etc to get that works well with what I already have? I am looking to spend no more then $190 to $315 on the computer (not including screens, keyboard, etc). I was planning on overclocking some and will be playing games on it. I plan on building a new computer from scratch in the future and not I am looking to upgrade this computer. I would appreciate any helpful advice, thanks!

When you say:

(4x) G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1866 Memory

What do you mean there? Will you be using 8 sticks of 2GB each one?

Sorry that was kind of confusing, I will be using 4 sticks of RAM, 4GB each for a total of 16BG.

Well, since you want to build a better system later, you can only use 2 of those 4 sticks, motherboards with 4 slots of RAM are more expensive, and 8GB of RAM is more than enough these days:

If i was building a temporary build, id' get a quality PSU, that way you can reuse it on your newer buildm but you must have your reasons for building it from scratch.
