Next gaming build? Advice needed

[Kyle McDonald]

I'm planning out my next build as I want to get a new PC in the future, so I want some advice. I want to include a r9 290x as I am going for a more high-end build. I can probably spend around 1000-1200$ but it will vary, but make the builds around that price range. I play basically ALL sorts of games, but I will be playing next-gen and want to play at 900p maxed on my games. I don't plan on overclocking or anything, I game alot so I just want to have smooth framerates with most games maxed, if not all. I am buying from Canada so they will be shipped from US/here.

Thanks.

Current build:

8gb Kingston Ram
i7 3770 CPU
Sapphire 7970 Dual-X
CX 750m PSU

well r9 290 it is a good upgrade your cpu ram and psu are fine i do not think you need more!!!

 

[PepitoTV]

So you already have what you mentioned?

 

[Kyle McDonald]

@okcnaline How well would that system perform? Do you think I should just add to my current build?

 

[Kyle McDonald]

And yes, that is my current build as of now. My mobo is a some random Intel one as I bought a Acer machine then changed it up a bit. (GPU, PSU, new case. )

 

[okcnaline]

It'll be awesome on High, if not Ultra. Smooth, and lag proof.

And I don't quite think you should add that to your system, as the motherboard's quality is questionable.

No way I could just buy another mobo and switch it over? I always wanted too but wasnt sure if it would work out.
