Friends Build Help?
Hey my mate is building a new computer and his budget at the moment is $3000 and he really wants to keep it under that but if he has to go like $100 over than that is fine with him but this is the build he has at the moment. He intends to play a lot of games and doesnt really want to upgrade for the next 5 years or so.



My question is that is there anything that you would change to make it perform a lot better? He was thinking of taking the R9 290X out and having two 270X's which his is unsure of at this time. He was also thinking about the changing the CPU to AMD FX-9590 Black Edition 8-Core but still unsure.

Would love some feedback and he will be only buying from this website most likely as he does live in Australia and this is one of the cheapest on the market.

Thanks.
Don't change out 1 graphics card for 2, never ever ever. Your friend can simply ad another 290X in a few years time to keep up with the latest requirements and as for the CPU, fuck, that. The 9590 sucks so hard in terms of price to performance and it most certainly isn't a gaming CPU. On the topic of CPU's, I'd recommend getting an Intel CPU, just my opinion.
Don't even bother with SLi/Crossfire. Don't ever bother with it unless you are going 3+ monitors.
Tell him not to go with the 270x, the 270 has literally nearly the same specs, and could match it if OCed. Saving $40 right there.
