Hi guys, m on a very limited budget, n i am having an oppurtunity to get these products from a local vendor at some discount but these are probably used products. but before that i will tell you how much this costs to buy in our market
i5 3570k 2-YEAR WARRANTY LEFT
market price~16,500 INR ($269)
vendor price~10,500 INR ($171)

if i go for this i can also get a gfx which would be
evga gtx 650ti boost (NO WARRANTY)
evga is not available in our market, but a similar product

asus gtx 650ti boost
market price~14,500 INR ($236)
vendor price~ 6,500 INR ($106)

so if i decide to purchase above i would have an i5 3570k and evga gtx 650ti boost

OR

i also have offer from same vendor for this
asus r9 280x direct cu ii top edition - 2 yrs warranty left
market price~ 25000 INR ($407)
vendor price~16000 INR ($260)

i need to make a decision fast. what should i go for. what offer is best.

if i go for i5 3570k with gtx 650ti
i will eventually have to upgrade my gpu in 1-2 yrs. ( on easy installments)

if i go for asus r9 280x, i will get entire cabinet on easy installments, n would go for either fx 8350 or i5 4590 later this january. (or what ever u guys suggest :D)

so guys what should i go for, m so confused :/

thanks for all your help.

now games i would love to play would range from far cry 4 to fifa 15 n watch dogs n grid 2.

So no CPU but a GPU, basically building CPU in parts over long time! Start with CPU and all the parts you need to run a computer then add higher end GPU later. At least you can start enjoying it.

so geting i5 now with gtx 650ti boost would be wise then getting r9 280x?? coz for me in terms of spending
i5 3570k+gtx650ti=asus r9 280x.
so getting that cpu n gpu now and later upgrading to better n more powerful gpu would be better then getting asus r9280x now n upgrading to a better cpu later?

I suggest you get the 3570k and the 650ti. That cpu is great, and that gpu can play quite a lot of games on good settings. Try to upgrade that gpu in a year or two.
Are you completely certain that it's the 3570k and not just the 3570, right?

yep thats what m considering at the moment.
also if u ask me what gfx u prefer to get i would love to have gtx 970, but its pretty expensive, zotac amp edition being around 32,000 INR. so i cant get that now. r9 280x being another cheap option so was thinking about it,, anyways

if i go with cpu+gpu combo (i5 3570k+gtx 650ti) i shld be able to play games like cs go, fifa 15, pes 15 n grid 2 or nfs right? though i would be missing un on games like far cry n watch dogs i think. but I'm a working professional so eventually i would get hardly 2 hrs to game. so i shld enjoy with above mentioned games for a year and half i guess.

thanks guys :)
now i was trying to be further greedy by looking into sli :D
i have read that boost editions of 650ti can be done sli.
just wanted to know does it need to be from same vendor, like if i take asus 650ti boost n sli with evga 650ti boost would that work. also even if its from same vendor it needs to have same vrm right?
for eg this guy
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DMM00CG?me=&ref=olp_product_details

is selling his evga gtx 650ti boost sc, but its mentioned 1 gb, so it wont work sli with my 2 gb card right?

update: thanks for convincing me, got gtx 650ti boost yesterday from my local vendor :))
