    Upgrade help - What to choose?

    Basically I ordered stuff from 2 different places, roughly the same stuff, buy on pickup. They were each a day apart, they locked the first order and I got second thoughts. Basically nr 1 is:
    MSI Z87-G43 ATX
    Kingston 16GB (2x8GB) CL10 1600MHz HyperX blu
    Intel Core i7 4770K 3.5 GHz (Haswell)
    Sapphire Radeon R9 290 4GB (Hawaii PRO)
    be quiet! Pure Power L8 630W 80+ Bronze Modular
    Cost: $1400 (9200SEK)

    nr2:
    Crucial DDR3 BallistiX Sport 16GB KIT
    Corsair CX 600M, 600W PSU
    XFX Radeon R9 290 4GB GDDR5
    Gigabyte GA-Z87P-D3, Socket-1150
    Intel Core i7-4770K
    Cost:$1340 (8800SEK)

    I can still change number 2, and I'm contemplating changing the graphics card out for something cheaper. Which cheaper graphics card would you suggest? I want to atleast be able to play BF4 and 2014 games on medium with 60fps and 3 monitors running 1920x1080. I basically just don't want to lag on any games, don't really care for maxed out graphics and such.

    Mostly going to use the computer for things other than gaming.

    Which build do you think is the most price worthy?

    Well, if you want lower GPU, r9 270X maybe? or without the X/
    3 monitors is a tall order for that budget, is it not? I'm not an expert :/

    What are you going to use it for other than gaming?
    3 monitors so I presume maybe some heavy graphic work?
    PM me weird stuff :3

    If you want lower graphics, go to a 280x. That is if you can find one anywhere.
