Hey Guys,
Want to build my first PC. I'm more or less decided upon the GPU - R9 280X. ( Probably will go with the ASUS). Can you help me with the other combo.

Hey,
I'm from India. So there not a lot of online retailers.

http://www.theitdepot.com/

But I'll prefer to buy the stuff locally. Also I'm able to get a good deal on HIS 280X card. Is HIS a good manufacturer and reliable. I want to use this system for next 2-3 years

This is the model - http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product2-786.shtml
It has IceQ cooler not the IceQx2. Now the issue is this model I'm getting at Rs. 22K ( $355 at today's Rs to dollar conversion).
THe ASUS R9 280X DC 2 Top model retails at Rs. 27K ( $ 436). The IceQx2, being the top model of HIS should be priced similar to ASUS. Now i don't think that the model I'm getting and the TOP model from HIS justifies this huge $81 difference. I'll probably settle with HIS normal version, assuming noise and temp are within limits of the TOP model.
Could you also suggest motherboard and other stuff ?
Also is FX-8320 a good fit

8350 is like $50 more than 8320.
Also what you think about the Asus M5A97 Motherboard.
WIth 280X, will 600W be enough. Because in HIS site, the power supply requirement is posted to be around 750W

those manufacturers suggestions are as far as i know aimed at crappy psu's.. so a crappy 750w psu would actually be a 550w psu or something like that.

A decent 550/650 watt psu will be perfect for any mid/high end build with 1 gpu.

And nice build.. Have fun with it!!
