Should I get a GTX 760 or a MSI R9 270x? I was going to get a R9 280x but they are sold out at Amazon, Newegg, and US.NCIX! So if you have any other trustworthy places that have a MSI R9 280x for sale then link me to it. So withought further adue, should I get a gtx 760 or r9 270x?

760. or 270X for litecoin

What happened to the girl? And I would go with the 270x if you have to get something NAOW. Otherwise, save up for a 770.

Neither. 7870 is a 270X. Same thing, just the 7870's are $130. Then put the extra cash to an SSD.

No contest. 760 is better. I'd try to grab some cheap 7870's though as they're pretty darn cheap when on sale.

Oh yes and it needs to be a 600- 650 w power supply with 80+ Bronze.

Corsair CX 750 PSU can handle that. Plus it leaves some wattage room in. I just got one on the weekend for $50 after mail in rebates.

GPU: GTX 760 or 770 - What ever brand you want comes with free games AC4/Splinter Cell

Hard Drive: 1TB eh? Western Digital Caviar Blue or Black or good drives.

Fans: Your choice.

PSU: I suggest a Corsair 750 watt.

Just Newegg them and you will most likely find them.

(The case fans I cant help you out with sorry :( )

when will the 770 go on sale? I currently have a 7950, and upgrading to that would be a beast. I currently have about 13 or almost 2 weeks until i can return it. Do you think the prices of that card will go down dramatically?

Wanna hang out with me and people like @Theslsamg, @ Ssoele, @BENTHEREN, @Lanoi, @Whiskers, @_ASSASSIN_, @Looney, @WunderWuffle, and @nsyedhasan. Well.... Check out: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/48484-unofficial-linustechtips-teamschnitzel-server-teamspeak/
