Hi guys,
the last few weeks I've been busy trying to pick parts for my first gaming build.
I've come up with this system.
The graphics card is in fact a R9 280 from Sapphire, but the price is correct :)

Please tell me what I can improve on this build for about the same budget (750 euro).
I would really appreciate it :)

Doesn't look to bad but dont expect to run games at anything more than medium depending on which games of course. I'd save up a bit more if I were you and get a better graphics card but if that isn't an option go for it.
 


With better you mean? 280x? 285? 290?
I've read that this is a pretty good graphics card and it will run many games ultra settings. Am I wrong and do the YouTubers screw everyone or what is it?
 

I've watched a video with benchmarks. Looks pretty dang good to me! R9 280 can play the best games at max settings, or am I wrong??
