Dear all sifus
Need help to decide sapphire r9 270x or zotac gtx760
My pc purely for gaming mostly for bf4 and dota 2
Is sapphire r9 270x worth to buy since it comes with free bf4?

[Budget]: <RM 1,100 (CPU Only).

[Purpose]: Gaming - mainly on Dota 1 or 2.

[Hardwares that will be re-use]: None.

[Monitor resolution]: Best possible display.

[Games & softwares that use frequently]: HD Movie, Dota 1 or 2.

[Personal preferences]: Looking for something with a better graphic display and less powerful processor, 500GB harddisk, 4G RAM so that I can maintain within my budget.

[Location]: PJ/ KL.


Thanks

hi, i'm looking for a full rig including monitor and no keyboard/mouse..

the purpose will be gaming and multimedia task..

my budget is max at 3000.00.. cannot exceed this.. haha..

i would like to see 3 list of full rig that will use r9 270 (non x), r9 280x and gtx 760..

thanks!

The gtx760 performs slightly better against the R9 270x but it's cheaper with free BF4... IMHO it''s worth it

thats a very tight budget...try..

Kingston Value RAM 4GB RM119
Samsung 500GB HDD RM149

Your budget only allows you a GTX 760 / R9 270/X combo. Fitting in a R9 280X + Core i5 (recommended) is not possible.

For BF4, its better to get the amd card since it will utilize mantle in the future, asrock mobo worth considering as their quality and pricing are good.

Wow.thanks alot for the suggestion.!

Checked that your monitor is only 1440 x 900 resolution. I have included in a 1080p monitor under your build. The experience will surely be...

Why no Gainward Phantom/Zotac AMP!?
Another alternative would be the R9 270X... and comes with BF4...

Out of his budget later. Gainward Phantom maybe still can.

Wow, thanks alot all master for the value recommendation. I will show them this specs.

all sifus...this is my upcoming build.

CPU--i7 4770
RAM--Kingston HyperX 16gb
MOBO--Gigabyte H87-D3H
SSD--Plextor M5S 128gb
HDD--WD 1TB blue
GPU--MSI GTX770 lightning
PSU--Seasonic M12II 620w (i believe i didnt see wrong, the price is rm359)
Chassis--CM 690III
ODD--any
Cooler--i not sure what to get

so, is everything ok? need to double confirm it before going to buy.
and for the cooler, what cooler should i get?

Usage? Looks good if you are gaming and doing rendering stuff...
Though high speed RAMs aren't necessary...
Just stick with stock coolers since you are not overclocking. Alternatively, you can settle with a Xeon 1230 v3, and that Xeon is an i7 in disguise, without the integrated graphics and overclocking.
The price of the MSI lightning card can give you Sapphire R9 290 BF4 edition for RM1449, if you don't mind the extra heat and noise... However, the performance is close to a RM3000+ GTX Titan...

if dont want use stock cooler? CM Hyper Series air cooler ok?

Why? Otherwise there's the Hyper TX3 EVO....
I think you cannot tolerate the noise...
