Can someone please refer me to a reliable source at Nehru Place who can build a desktop in front of me while I wait?Would SMC be the best solution? I need the system urgently, by today evening.

Always looking for improvements on the below as long as they're all squeezed within 65k (give or take 5k):


Amd Fx-8350
Motherboard 990Fxa-Gd65 or on-par?
4GB x2 RAM kit
2TB x2 HDD
Windows 8 Home Basic?
CM 550w or greater SMPS?
CM Cabinet?
Graphics Card - 280x not available at Nehru Place... need an alternative


Again, Budget 65k...
Need to fit the best possible graphics card in given the price constraint.

Any help would be greatly appreciated - thank you!

look for mass computers systems for antec cabinet.it is situated in the opposite building 1st floor to the floor where computer empire & smc are located(if you are standing in front of computer empire then you can probably see mass computers in the opposite building if you look hard enough).it should costs ~4200 & is the best option at this price.try getting another 2tb hdd later because price should come down a bit next year.

Thanks guys - i've been on the phone with SMC Intl for the past hour but they have no stock of the 280x.
Tried calling a few other places at Nehru Place and apparently, nobody has the r9 series anywhere (270/280/290).

I was thinking of dropping down to the 760 range but later saw online that the 670 pretty much outperforms it.

Rethinking my overall needs now, ie: I no longer believe the 65k budget can be met.

My only other option is managing with a 770GTX which they're quoting for around 30k.

confused :-?

you can purchase online if you need. 280x at 24k will be equivalent to 770 at 32-34k. think before you buy.

why so impatient for a rig costing this much?explore online shopping options & then decide.people here spend sometimes even weeks before deciding on a gaming rig costing less than yours.

both r9 270x and 650 ti boost will not able able to max games.

Who says so? To run max games do you need R9 290X or HD7990 or what? It depends on individual tastes buddy and their budgets. I cannot buy a HD7990 or GTX780i for instance.Its better to run games in medium settings than go for power hogging hardware.
