Can I get anything cheaper on this build?

Solution


Ah.. Well if you can eek it out the 760 Showed higher FPS in a video i just posted on a different thread than a 270X let alone a 270, 270x is pretty much a 7870 with higher clock speeds and AMD's mantle enable. Where as the 270 is a 7850 with the same thing. Higher speed and Mantle.
here is my revision
aud $40 cheaper
but with more powerful parts
7870 GHz
faster ram
better quality monitor from asus

I prefer AMD for this build due to my budget. Also; australian prices are still more expensive most of the time even taking into account the difference between AUD and USD.

@Radeon; how does the 270 compare to the 7870? I'll be playing runescape 3 and BF4 mostly. I'm hoping for high settings on BF.
