Sir......how about Corsair CX600 -


Due to the poor capacitors it uses i do not suggest using the CX series. Plus it usually cost the same if not more than the higher quality XFX unit.

XFX power supplies are made by Seasonic who is one of the best PSU manufactures in the business(Super Flower and Flextronics are 2 other examples). The 550w XFX is a tier 2a PSU, the CX is tier 3 and the CM extreme is tier 5.

The only good current Cooler Master PSU models are the V and VS series.

I think I can settle with an EVGA GTX 660 SC.....it's a good GPU....price performance wise...

But I checked your link for R9 270x it is also a good choice.....becoz of Mantle

But AMD consumes more power.....and have Crappy Drivers.....

Whereas Nvidia......my GTS 450 and a GTX TITAN have same Driver....

Plus Kepler consumes a lot less power...

What do you suggest 180 - 220$ only GPU.....excluding the PSU

No, price/performance wise it is not the best choice at that price. The 270x is which is why I suggested it first. The 660 is just the best nvidia at that price.

I like that the 660Ti has more cores, useful for folding.
