[TechSav]

Please suggest the remaining components.It must be a Bang for the Buck.(I'm thinking of buying
GTX 750Ti) for this build

gtx 750 ti is not the best bang for buck get the r9 270 instead .

Any reason for suggesting G-SKILL over corsair ?

Not really G.skill is cheaper than corsair but a very good brand too for RAM but its upto you what to get.

And in case of R9 270X(2GB) which brand do you think gives the highest performance and cooling (within 200$)?
I'm thinking of buying msi or sapphire.

 

[Vic 40]

For $200 could you already get a r9 280 or better.Some options,

if you have 200$ for a card then i would suggest increase your budget by just 30$ and you will get the r9 290 a very good card .

but if you dont want to spend that much then get r9 280.

No, i cant go further up in my budget.Please suggest me the r9 270/r9 270x(2GB) which is the fastest and has the best cooling in its class.
And whats the difference between r9 270 and r9 270x?
are you sure my PC wont need special cooling to run this card?
what does the GPU performance depend on?clockspeed? cuz MSI TWIN FROZR GeForce GTX 750Ti/N750Ti TF 2GD5/OC 2 GB GDDR5 has a higher clock speed(1085 Mhz) than MSI R9 270X (ABOUT 950Mhz), am i right?

The r9 270X has the better performance.

The difference between r9 270 and The "X" is clockspeeds and power connectors,the latter has higher clockspeeds and needs two power connectors.
There's one exeption,the r9 270 from gigabyte it needs two power connectors,and with that is it really just a lower clocked r9 270X.A thread about that one,
http://www.overclock.net/t/1449757/gigabyte-r9-270-overclocking-ability
if you can get it for really cheaper is it imo also a fine option.

If you have a well ventilated case are you good with heat output.

GTX 750 ti is much lower in performance than the r9 270x regardless of their clock speed you should compare clock speed of the same model card.

Go with the gigabyte windforce or the MSI twinfrozer of the r9 270x they have better cooling.

Whats the difference between ASRock 970 Extreme 3/4 (any edition which are in my budget) and the Gigabyte mobo you've suggested?
cuz ASRock is cheaper here and the gigabyte board is pricier..Which do you suggest ?

 

[prit87]

Not that much you can go for Asrock if you want just gigabyte is a better brand than asrock.

 

[Vic 40]

I think that the brands are equal.
The asrock extreme 4 has sli as feature,the 3 doesn't.
the gigabyte has better vrm which means better,more stable overclock capabilities.

 

[TechSav]

Other than overclocking , why is it necessary to invest in a good board?
i never do overclock..i play games like fifa 15.
Any best in class mobos at a lesser price ??

 

[Vic 40]

When you want really cheap and will use no ssd,don't mind m-atx this one,

if the asrocks aren't that much more expensive will either of those do too.
