Hi, i am looking for the MSI r9 270, not the 270x, it seems i can't find any places to buy it, the slim few i did find would not ship to my country, Australia.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a place that sells them and ships to australia
 
You cannot get the MSI's R9-270, but you can get the Gigabyte's R9-270. I know it is not the same, but if offers same performance and similar cooling and noise performance. Hence, this card would be equally good. Hence get this Gigabyte's R9-270. It offers plenty of performance for the money.

If you really want to buy MSI's model, then get this one which costs a little bit more. This is the 270x model. Hence it is different from 270, but yes, if offers better performance than the R9-270.

Anyways, if you are in any way spending like AU $270, then I would suggest the Asus Direct CU II Model more as it is my personal favorite, thanks to low noise, cool operation and awesome overclocking ability. But the choice is yours. Hence I leave this as an option.

They are available well within Australia, so it should be fine. Hence choose whatever you are comfortable with.

Have a nice day :)
