need advise on new rig

[nyben89]

hi guys, need advise on my new rig to be. mostly used for casual gaming.

MSI B85-G43 GAMING + i5 4570
MSI GTX760 TWIN FROZR 2GB
G.SKILL RIPJAWS KIT CL9 (4GBX2)
W DIGITAL 1TB BLUE
SAMSUNG 840 EVO 250gb (amazon)
SEASONIC M1211620 MODULAR 620W
SHARKOON T28
WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM 64bit OEM
SAMSUNG 24X DVDRW SATA - OEM


my budget is ard 1400. dont really intend to upgrade this rig anymore in the near future, hopefully this can last for the next 3-5 years.
also, do i need a cpu cooler fan or the stock one is enough?
are there better choices i can pick to save on cost?

thanks

Stock is enough since u chose a non overclock cpu.

Can list the type of game you play? It will give us a better picture for recommendation.

Presuming you still have your PC on your rig profile, you just need a new R9-280X/R9-290....

If you are a fan of nvidia then go ahead get a gtx770. Ranges from the cheapest zotac $470-$535 for evga for other brands like palit/msi/giga.

Offers same performance. Amd offers slightly more vram 3gb. And with a copy of bf4.

So basically you are paying close to $60 more since you are comparing msi gtx770. And probably a little bit more since amd has $35-40 worth of bf4 coupon.
