Hi everybody.
So i was planning on getting my new PC done, and here what I've come with:
Motherboard: Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z
CPU: AMD Bulldozer FX-4170
GPU: SAPPHIRE Dual-X R9 270X 4GB or maybe Radeon R9 270 X-Edition (which one is better?)
RAM: maybe standart kingstone 8 gb, or Corsair Vengeance 2 x 4GB
Now i need power supply, and what else? Sound card? (Of course hard disk, and cd/dvd-driver)
So are these compatible? Is there any bottleneck points? And maybe some free advices for PC-noobie would be nice ^^

Well, you said you didnt have a budget, and the one you listed would be been a bit under what you're looking for, also didn't know if you needed an os/case.

Thank you very much. ^^
 


I was going to say, why not spend the extra money on a 280x?
 


I could have easily just thrown the best parts in there, but I'm trying to save him money if possible, and give him a system that will do everything currently available very well.
