Well Black Friday is over and I think I manage to save quite a bit, even tho I'm in Canada. This is what I manage to snag up for myself alone when I went with a friend. I'm missing the GPU and powersupply, as I didn't see any worth picking up or on sale that would inspire me to buy right away, so I decided to come here first for some advice.
For GPU I was looking at asus. But when I saw the R9 280x, there was 3 types. Now I know the ROG one is higherclocked and probably better then the other 2 for overclocking. But whats the difference between the other 2? One has a cooltech fan, and the other one is like more square. I'm thinking of crossfire or SLI, depending on what deals or cards offer affordability with performance.
As for PSU, I probably need something that can run my GPU's, I was thinking 750W from Corsair or Seasonic. Looking for suggestions.
