Friends,

I have tried everything from online stores to local vendors, the graphics card - R9 270x is not available in market and would be available only after a couple of weeks. This is my configuration, please suggest a suitable/powerful graphics card other than R9 270x.

CABINET Cooler Master HAF912 USB 3.0 Combat Gaming Cabinet*
MOTHERBOARD Asus M5A97EVO-R2.0 32GB DDR3 AMD Motherboard
PROCESSOR AMD 3.5 GHz AM3+ FX 8320 8 Core Piledriver Processor
RAM Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM (CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9)
HARD DISK Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB SATA Internal Desktop Hard Drive (WD10EZEX)
SMPS Seasonic 520W Power Supply (S12II-520)
DVD DRIVE Asus DRW-24D3ST DVD Burner Internal Optical Drive

Need it ASAP as all other products are ready except the graphics card.

if you cant get 270x , try gtx 760 if it is under your budget. else,i think you should wait until it comes to stock.

I have the budget now to go for a individual monitor for this, prefer 23 inches HD monitors. I have googled a bit and got these 2 narrowed down, looking for HDMI output so ruled out Dell. Share your thoughts...
