I work at an electronics retailer who shall remain nameless. I can get the R9-270X for $220 from Asus, or $217 from XFX. 850W thermaltake PSU for about $90. After an amazon mobo, some risers, and a 45W sempron processor I'm good to go. I have an unopened Crucial 64GB SSD and a few copies of Windows 7 and 8.1 lying around so The build should give me a pretty quick ROI.
oh yeah.... magic happened. just got over to 800 doge. Thank you for the rapid fix.
