Afternoon all,

Just had a cheeky little bonus come through and want to upgrade something (just because) but can't work out what to get.

Currently on
Maximus V Formula (water cooled)
i7 3770k (water cooled)
R9 290 Tri-x
2x 8gb & 2x 4gb Corsair Vengeance DDR3
Corsair AX1200 PSU
Evo 1tb SSD
collection of HDD's.

What would give me just that little bit more? can go to about £300 give or take.

Thanks in advance.

monitor wise i picked up a 28" led about 2 months ago lol, didnt realise at the time that i would have a little extra to play with this month

Can't seem to find the same R9 290 (Sapphire) are there any suggestions on what other 290 would be a good match?

Doesn't have to be an exact match, although it would be nice, donot mind getting a different one as long as it doesn't cause issues.
Have an orthopedic chair that I got for a stupidly cheap price from work, but some of the gam8ng chairs ocular sell do look mint

Question - would i have any issues with pairing my current R9 290 Tri-x with a Sapphire R9 290x Tri-x??

If you want an exact match you will need to go second hand.

As luck would have it, managed to find one on a certain site, £170 boxed
