Budget: Im trying to keep i under $550, Newegg deals WONT work, im not in the US. Just suggest me some parts since im not that well aware of Haswell 1150 processors and mobos.
Im thinking of the i5 4440 processor, with gigabyte h87 hd3 mobo,
I dont have much specific needs, basically gaming.
Im thinking of going for the 270X, so keep the bottlenecking in mind.
Ram i want atleast 8gbs since the new consoles are here.
1tb HDD?
a cheap case
and a PSU of 500 watts? What if I run my card at maximum? not overclock, is a 500watt psu gonna be able to handle it?
Not sure what PSU to get, i dont know too much about these. I was either thinking about corsair, or coolermaster, or Antec for the PSU.
Thanks
**UPDATE**
I added this, forget all that you've read.
Well, yeah. I'm in Pakistan, and most parts here cost more than they should. So there is no correct way to convert my currency in to equivalent dollars.
I just want a cheap build. My initial plan was to get an i5 3330 + R9 270X (or non X). but with time, I started thinking to be more 'future' proof with Haswell. But then everything costs more! the processor and the Mobo as well!
And please tell me can only ATX boards do SLI/crossfire?
I just want a cheap build, here the 270X costs around $300 -_- SO yeah.
Here are a few website, which would give people an insight to the prices and what to suggest. Though these websites offer way less than what the actual market does. Still

http://www.czone.com.pk/
http://www.shingpoint.com.pk/ (still under construction, a great shop though)

Well, so my budget in Rupees (the currency on these websites) is around 60k to 70k. I was able to think of a Haswell build which was under Rs 85k, but yeah, thats way over budget. -_-
