1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans: Playing GAMES GAMES such as CALL OF DUTY , FIFA , FAR CRY , GTA and other upcoming games

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 30K.

Yeah thanks. Most probably will go for it. How abt the 290X? Is it worth the price difference.

Also what are the differences between msi, stock, sapphire and other brands of R9 290

currently sapphire tri x offers best cooling for 290. for how much are you getting 290x? do not ever go for stock 290/290x.

The Sapphire R9 290X tri-x costs me 2550AED, 650aed more than R9 290 Tri-X(1900AED) i.e approx 10k more.Out of my budget.
If its worth the upgrade was planning to source it from Australia.

Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 290 Vapor-X 4GB Overclocked Video Card

Both look same except for GPU clock numbers.
