Any Antec model within your budget and greater than 500W will be the best. Second option is Seasonic S12II 520W. If these aren't easy to find, you can also try Cooler Master GX series and OCZ 550W.

Hi guys,
I've ordered following components from flipkart:
Seasonic S12II 520 Watts PSU -- 4950/-
G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) -- 5880/-

Now only left with Cabinet to buy, almost decided to buy nzxt phantom 240. Is this fine for my rig, summarizing following components:
Asus H97 Pro gamer,
Intel i5 4670,
Asus R9 270x DCT2 2 GB,
Seasonic S12II 520,
G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB PC RAM (F3-12800CL10S-8GBXL),

I have AOC 24'' FHD monitor.
Can i go ahead with nzxt phantom 240 and suggest any after market CPU cooler, deepcool gamaxx 400(budget around 3k) having in mind. Please comment and suggest.

Please try to get good quality PSU that natively comes with 2x PCIe 6-pin power connectors. Avoid using molex-to-PCIe convertors. :)

nzxt 240 is fine. but max cpu cooler height is 158cm.so cooler like hyper 212x will be neck to neck. or get corsair 300r + hyper 212x

You can easily fit CM Hyper 212X in Scout 2 or even Noctua NH D14 which is one the biggest cpu coolers. I am having the Ghost White version of Scout 2

Your gpu has no HDMI connector ? which monitor do you have ? AFAIK asus dc2 top r9 270x has hdmi, display port, dvd-i and dvi-d ... so there should not be any connectivity issue between the monitor and gpu. Connect the monitor to graphic card.

What's the Beep sound , one long three short or something else. Reseat the GPU.Reseat the RAMS. Clear CMOS. Check the power connections of the GPU.

Hi Guys,
Thx for support. I've reset RAM. This solved the Display problem(pretty basic):D:D:D

Now connected my FHD AOC tv via HDMI to GPU.

The display is very good, enjoying battlefield4.
