Hello so both me and my bro ordered parts for a self build PC....
Anyways my parts have all arrived and i've made my computer, my brother is still lacking his GFx card.
These are the parts:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor (£139.54 @ Amazon UK)
Motherboard: ASRock H97 Anniversary ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (£68.53 @ Amazon UK)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£48.99 @ Amazon UK)
Storage: Sandisk Ultra Plus 128GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (£47.02 @ Amazon UK)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£41.00 @ Amazon UK)
Video Card: XFX Radeon R9 290X 4GB Double Dissipation Video Card (£199.38 @ Amazon UK)
Case: Thermaltake Versa H25 ATX Mid Tower Case (£34.49 @ Amazon UK)
Power Supply: XFX TS 650W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply (£68.95 @ Amazon UK)
Total: £647.90


Thing is we ordered this early july, the GFX card was suppose to be send the 18-28'th july, that has just been rescheduled to the 1'st september...

And yeah who wants to wait 2 months for a gfx card.
We are both kinda retards at computer parts and what not, abit unsure what GFX card we can get him for his setup.
Should we just buy the same from another store? or is there alternatives around the same price range?...

Thanks for the assistance - already asked this question to a old thread i made, but we are kinda in a rush! i will delete / fix this thread if i get a reply on my old thread.

290X's are at an awesome price right now because they're EOL, similar cards in terms of performance are the GTX 970 or the R9 390, but they're going to be around 50-100 quid more.

You've picked some nice parts for a computer retard lol! :p

EDIT: For your budget, you're gonna be looking at a GTX 960 or an R9 380.

Darkbreeze answered my other thread, but apparently my bro doesnt want to pay more then 200-210 pounds...
Figured he wouldnt mind paying 40-50 ekstra since a entire month has passed, but nope.
need a suggestion around the 200 pound price.

He might want to really consider the R9 390, it is a little bit more powerful generally, has a larger frame buffer and has knocked the GTX 970 off of the top spot in terms of price to performance.

The R9 390 is also a great card!
