Hi guys, I live in Mauritius, here building a gaming PC(with R9 280) costs ~$1500.
so I've decided to ask a friend from Singapore to ship a video card for me.
is it worth?
and also, if yes, I got to choose between one of these 3. which would you recommend, and why.

Solution
if its cheaper then its worth it

ASUS Radeon R9 280X direct cuii top edition is the best in those three because

it is the second fastest 280x card in the market

it is the most silent and coolest 280x card in the market



yeah, that would be a nice idea but import taxes would be an issue

since he has a friend in singapore, he can send it as a "gift item" and save on taxes

hmm... true, but if the taxes arent that bad maybe it would be worth it.
i have a friend in poland who can buy stuff for me and send it but its cheaper from the russian markets ( it was )

Check if it would be cheaper shipping it from india, OP
