ok thx for the suggestion

Hi guys, my previous build as suggested by chocobo7779 is as below

Is it ok if I wait for R9270X? coz I saw at LYN's front page, R9 270X 4GBGDDR5 is only around RM729. saw the benchmarks posted by AMD, it's quite impressive. should there be any change on other hardware?

I can wait if R9270X is better choice since the price is very tempting

Up to you, but GTX 760 is still around 12% faster than R9 270X. Of course, 760 is slightly more expensive, but if that price you mentioned is correct then R9 270X is a good option also.

oh, since I have the budget, GTX760 is better then?

Definitely. The reviews speak for themselves.

thanks. I'll stay with GTX760 then

btw, may I know where do u do this comparison? I can't find any good comparison tool as this

A lot, google "R9 270X review" and you will get so many different kinds of chart to refer to. The chart above is from Techpowerup.
