What Graphics Card?

[ExtremeIC3cream]

Hello guys, was just on the shop and seen there was a lot of deals on the Graphics Cards this week. I haven't got one for my PC just yet and these deals are really tempting. Here is my current spec:

Case: BitFenix Phenom Mini-ITX
Power Supply: Seasonic G series 550w
Processor: Intel Core i5-4430 3.00GHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte H87N-WiFi Intel H87
RAM: Kingston HyperX Predator 16GB 2133Mhz
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB
OS: Microsoft Windows 8.1

I bought this PC back in November and it is used for Photoshop and now I'm getting into Gaming. I was looking at the Gigabyte Radeon R9 270X Windforce 3X OC and the Gigabyte GeForce 760 Windforce 3X OC.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 WindForce 3x OC Rev2 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card **Black PCB** £191.99
1 x Gigabyte Radeon R9 270X WindForce 3X OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with BattleField 4 PC Game Included £149.99
Total : £351.58 (includes shipping : £8.00).



The 270X is a lot cheaper and I would be able to maybe fit a SSD in. Also comes with Battlefield 4 which would save me buying it. The 760 is more expensive but I prefer Nvidia because I like their software but the 270X is a much better deal in my eyes. I have around £200 but can go over a bit also what SSD if I can fit it in my budget? Just wanted your opinions on this

Approximately £200 for a GPU and an SSD:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Powercolor Radeon R9 270X DEVIL 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £157.99
1 x Kingston 60GB SSDNow V300 Drive SATA 6Gb/s 3 2.5" (7mm height) Solid State Hard Drive - (SV300S37A/60G) £49.99
Total : £217.58 (includes shipping : £8.00).



The Powercolour 270X comes with 5 free games.

Or a 280X if £230 counts as a 'bit' over £200:

YOUR BASKET
1 x MSI Radeon R9 280X Gaming Edition LE 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £229.99
Total : £239.59 (includes shipping : £8.00).

The 270x is the better choice.

Performance wise it is equal, if not in the 270x's favour.

Considering its much cheaper and comes with a free game you can't go wrong.

Was just looking for Battlefield 4 at the moment, but that Powercolor looks like good value also how does it compare to the Gigabyte one as I have always wen for Gigabyte as I trust them for their quality. Alos I seen if I got the Samsung EVO 120GB with the gigabyte 270X it comes in at £240 with Postage which suits alright as I can stretch a liitle.

If £240 is ok budget wise then I would deffo go for the 280x - its a beast of a card and you would be able to run BF4 at max settings. Having said that though an SSD would also greatly boost your system speed so the 270x and ssd combo wod be great. Go for the Powercolour 270x - it is the fastest one on the market I believe.
