r9 290 is a powerful graphics card.
Though you can try and get GTX 970 but that will be a bit expensive.
Stock cooler or custom cooler? if stock cooler than you need to get the price down a little bit for custom cooler not a bad card
[MENTION=882]LeGenD123[/MENTION] around 30k max 35k
[MENTION=25134]fpga123[/MENTION] well in that case i think I will wait a few months and continue gaming on my 9800GT

Go for GTX 970 then. You'll get one around 35k.
I guess there won't be much difference in prices. This is Pakistan.
I know a premium seller here on PG, selling r9 290 so you I can suggest him if you want to buy it.
Also you'll be needing a powerful PSU for 290.
that would be appreciated.
how is the power consumption of gtx 970 compared to r9 290
Gtx 970: 145 watts vs r9 290: 300 watts.
That's like too much!
GTX 960 runs a lot cooler than the 290.
Also got a better driver support.
i was in same dilemma a week back, got a good deal for a 290x and went for it, for me GTX 970 was around 7-9k more expensive
right now can't share that
but rest assured it was lucrative purchase, i might put the card on sale here once i get it my cost savings were due to saving in shipments (its being hand carry to Pakistan) and few rebates 
get a 970 with your eyes closed. it has low power consumption, runns fine on a 550w psu. Also is latest and has great driver support.
If you still want to get a 290 or 290x, you will have two benefits: You can play games like 970 but in addition to that ->
in winters you can heat your house with the card.

People don't understand that 290 or 290x will cost much more in the longer run in terms of electricity bill. Not to mention you would need a new PSU for it.
Nobody here mentioned a 960. He has budget for a 970 so getting a 960, 290, 290x is pointless.

170 + countries where Steam sells but PSN doesn't will lose access unless they use VPNfaraany3k said: -

It has a worst rating on Steam than last years MW3 now. Jeese Sony, how can you fuck it up THIS BAD
-
faraany3k:
I have heard that it is now unplayable in countries which do not support handful of third world countries not recognized by Sony like Pakistan. Steam is a true global platform.Then they cry that console gaming is dying. -

Gaben ki reach hai, PSN ki nahi hai. Gaben ain't stressing over publishers who rush to his store in the first place

saeen I don't think the PSN teams are stressing over needing to offer hundreds of thousands of refunds lol
