Looking for new Gpu for my son.

[Tomatoes]

P.S. sorry for my bad english that will follow

Hi guys,im going to buy a new gpu to my son. He has
intel pentium 4.0 ghz (OC)
Gt 730(we will change)
8gb ram
Windows 10 etc etc.

So i want to say that he will play games like GW2 Wildstar,LoL,LFD2,Csgo.
We are looking on r9 380 4gb,But we have 1 problem My choices are:
r9 380 sapphire 4gb nitro with backplate=234 euro
r9 380 Asus strix 4gb=280 euro

I know sapphire is the best brand for AMD but the sapphire one is more risky because the only site here in greece is little bad...We have like 70% if it will come in good situation.And the amd one is 1000% to come in good situation.So Is asus so bad in amd gpus? Should i risk the sapphire one? Thanks in advance!

before we can recommend anything, we need to know the make, wattage, and model of your power supply

What pentium? If its too slow then getting a new gpu maybe point less without a cpu upgrade. Also the make and model if the psu would be helpful. Have you verified thr card will fit invthe case?

and dont forget he dont play witcher like me or far cry or AC etc.

Even overclocked the g3258 is going to holdup some newer games since it can only handle 2 threads so you may want to look into an i5 upgrade soon. Aerocool has horrible power supplies so you want to replace that soon as they tend to be component killers. As for Sapphire vs Asus id get the Sapphire. Xfx is a decent option

It's good that you have 8 gb of ram. May i ask your motherboard model? you probably can replace your CPU with an i5 and get a R9 380 (x) for some good gaming experience. As for your PSU, i can't say anything but as far as i know it's not a reliable brand. I'm using i5 4460 + sapphire nitro r9 380x combo and i'm pretty happy with this setup for now (i can recommend sapphire)
