Which of these two is better?

Hey Community,

I was wondering which makes for the better gaming pc. They both dont have ram because surprisingly I have 8 compatible gbs just lying around 😀.

This is the best deal I could find for graphics cards - use promo code YWC146548, $20 Mail in rebate

You get another $25 off on top of that if you checkout with paypal.

Thanks for finding a great deal for me, but im going to wait for better deals. Plus I really cant afford the extra 40$ of GPU.

EDIT: I was looking at r9 270's and I found this other one that when compared to the on you showed me is the exact same thing. Although its 40$ cheaper, what do you think?

They are pretty much the same. The cheaper one is a good deal.

Ive heard that the AMD causes a lot of heat due to it being 8-core, with that said, the case I got only has 1 fan, how many fans do you think I should get?

 

[thor220]

I'd recommend at least 3 fans total. 2 exhaust and 1 intake.

These are good.

If you have any fans lying around I would use those too.

Perfect, I do have 1 lying around. Well, I guess the only thing left is to 1. Hunt for deals just in case things get cheaper. 2. Order everything

Thanks for all the help, really I appreciate all your advice.

No problem. Things are going to get crazy tomorrow and cyber monday. I would not be surprised if you can score some great deals.

OK, Tomanicus, you reported this thread to the Mod Team because you can't select a Best Answer. Every post shows the green "Pick as the solution" button on my screen but if you still can't see it, point out the post by its time and date and I'll select it for you.

Thanks for reporting this - if it isn't showing up properly for you, I'll pass the message on to the Development Team.

Yea, hope so. Good luck to you if you're going shopping too. Really anticipating to see what they release mid-day online.

Thanks for reporting that issue. So far, the only crazy deal has been a pair of sennheiser HD 598 headphones for $100. They are usually around $300.
