I am looking to upgrade my old card, I have a budget of 20-21k,
Initially i thought of getting the GTX 760 but then i released that my cabinet is not large enough to accommodate large cards of today's standard.
So hence now i am planning of getting a R9 270X along with a Corsair 400R cabby to keep the system cool.
Wanted to know if this is a good idea,
This rig will be used for Heavy Gaming and download at least 12hrs a day.
If i purchase a new Cabby i want it to last me the next new cycle 4-5 years down the road.
Also if the R9 270X is good then which brand should i buy the Sapphire Dual x or the ASUS DCU2?
There are 2 major imp factors for me for the brand
1) After-sales Service is very imp for me, i have had quite some bad luck with electronics failing on me, so would preffer a brand who has a smooth rma procedure.
2) I am looking to overclock it a bit and also want the card to be silent and cool
Looking forward to your inputs,
Thank you
