Hello and thank you for giving this your attention. i'll make it short. I want to buy MSI Radeon R9 290X 4GB GDDR5 and i don't know it if my computer can handle it
i don't really know what you need to know but i'll try to involve as much information as possible

CPU

basic fans as cooling.

If there is anything else you can think of like other things i should get or if there is any other graphics card i should look into i would be verry pleased to know

You should be fine but I would wait until a company comes out with a better cooler for the 290X before buying it

Your computer can handle it, but I would wait until aftermarket coolers are released on the R9 290X. That stock cooler is seriously awful and holding the card back from reaching its full potential.
