@OP:To add to that,you can get a GTX 760 if you spend 4k more

 

[harshilsharma63]

@OP; what is the problem with AMD? Just because you haven't used it does not mean its bad or Intel is better.

Ordering online? From where?

 

[anthony.praveen]

Is this true? "Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard has an onboard USB 3.0 header, but the Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case does not have front panel USB 3.0 ports" should i try some other cabinet.?

Get Coolermaster k350 @3.2k and spent rest money on Sapphire R9 270x

 

[harshilsharma63]

you can get better prices locally.

 

[rijinpk1]

get wd blue 1 tb hdd. also get 270x rather than spending money on costlier case. also dont forget to order the EVO version of the mobo.

 

[Vish2a9l]

OP, why on holy hell would you want a 650ti when you can get r9 270x?


Also, you can try out SunTek computers on ritchie street.
you can contact ameen: 9600040786

also, i'd suggest you to check out a few shops there and check their prices and compare with suntek and buy where you get a better price.

get 270x and do NOT get 650ti
