Any recommends? thanks in advance!

Arctic One seems good, how much fans does it have and will my CPU Fan fit in it? (EVO 212 coolermaster)?

I'm assuming you mean Antec One. It is a mid atx tower and should be fine. As a worst case scenario, you would just simply remove a drive bay.

Thanks a tons man!~!, I'm just wondering, I saw a review in Amazon about Gigabyte and some guy said it got thorrting voltage problem or something like that, is that true?? specficially with AMD FX 8*** processors

 

[Warthis]

And by the way:

This:

XFX Double D R9 270 925MHz Boost 2GB DDR5 DP HDMI 2XDVI Graphics Card (R9270ACDFC) by XFX

or Sapphire Radeon R9 270 2GB GDDR5 DVI-I/DVI-D/HDMI/DP Dual-X with Boost and OC Version PCI-Express Graphics Cards...

better and recommended?

That seem to be a problem with there older rev 1.0 board there updated rev 4.0 board seem to fix the problem and if you receive an older version that cause problem just rma it and Gigabyte will sent you an updated one and sometime bios update seem to fix the problem.
I don't have a 270 but sapphire vapor x 280x seem a little load right now I would go for the xfx version plus xfx give lifetime warranty.
I used to own a XFX 7950 it work great and quiet.
My newer sapphire vapor x 280x run a little load.

I would get a r9 270x instead.

If you were really having to choose between those two r9 270's though, I would go with XFX

It's the r9 270x version sure, but I think it'd be similar results on the r9 270.

What about this card?:
Gigabyte R9 270X GDDR5-4GB
and plus is this motherboard good?:
ASUS M5A99FX Pro 2.0

 

[jaraldo]

...what is your budget? I thought we had things finalized already and now you want to add another $75-100+ on 😵

 

[Warthis]

No, there's something interesting going on! someone wants to sell it for a cheap price (really cheap) it got a lot of fans and it sounds awesome. Is this recommended for this build?

 

[jaraldo]

hmm ok, my bad on assuming wrong 😛

Well still, is super cheap $0.25 or $100 :lol:

 

[jaraldo]

Well, not sure if you'll reply soon, but any used product is only a risk for the buyer and not the seller. You don't know how it was used, you don't get warranty and you don't know how much longer it will last.

Iirc, that board is around $100 and the GPU might be $180. Unless this is a friend of yours, I wouldn't buy them.
Also, 4gb cards are only good for multiple monitors and won't help you more in gaming than a 2gb version.

 

[Warthis]

So is the gigabyte board better than ASUS M5A99FX Pro 2.0?

 

[jaraldo]

Dude lol. Can you please answer how much you are paying for them? 😛

 

[Znoxz]

The M599FX only have a 6+2 power phase but have a 990X + SB950 chipset so should work better.
Unless your getting the 270x 4gb for a cheap price then the 2gb version i get the 270x 2gb to save some money or 280.
