New build, amd or nvidia gpu?

[bbqsauce]

Hello,

 

I'm currently in the process of building a new pc for light to medium gaming at 1080p and have decided on most of my parts.

However i'm currently facing an issue of whether to go for a nvidia gpu or amd one.

 

Namely i'm looking at either r9 270x or something like a gtx 670 / 760.

 

The prices for the amd cards are pretty bad, which is making me consider nvidia.

 

1. Powercolor R9 270x 2GB Devil OC $349.00 (does anyone have any experience with the performance of this card?)

2. MSI GTX 670 PE 2GB $379.00

3. MSI GTX 760 GAMING 2GB $405.00

4. MSI GTX 680 2GB $400.00

 

(Note, these prices are in SGD)

 

Which GPU do you guys think i should buy?

Or should i go for something like a gtx 750Ti for around $280? Since Amd cards for 1080p are so expensive and 760 and above seems overkill.

 

Rest of build:

Fx 8320

Gigabyte 990fx UD3

Corsair Vengeance LP 2x4gb

H105

Seasonic m12ii 750w

samsung evo 840 120gb

wd 1tb black

H440 Black/red

Those prices are insanely high. I'd say get a 680/770 if you can (whichever of the two is cheaper, they're the same card) or if not get a 670/760 because they're damn close too but perform better than a 270x.

I would grab the 760.

Not overkill.

I say you should get the 270X, it's not that much worse than the GTX 760, the $50 price difference is what you have to take into consideration and decide if you want the extra 5-10% performance increase.

budget we might be able to give you an idea for a better pc 

[bbqsauce]

Most of the parts are already purchased / shipping, bought them on sales and such.

 

For the gpu budget i'm actually thinking of around $300 but i can bump up to $400 if necessary. (would like it to be lower though)

 

I'm also inclined to go for the 680 since its pretty much the same as a 760 in price. but i don't necessarily need that much raw power.

 

Performance wise i'm looking at around decent 45-60fps at 1080p in medium to high settings. Nothing too fancy.

Looking at gpu prices for my country makes me cringe everytime

whats your total budget or have you purchased the other parts?

whats your total budget or have you purchased the other parts? 

my total budget is around 1500-1700 SGD (would like to keep it as price to performance as possible)

most of the other parts already purchased total to around 1000 SGD

case, cpu/mobo, cooler, ram.

I already have the ssd / hdd.

 

Whats left is the gpu / psu which have a budget of around 300-400 and 100-130.

SGD? 

[TheTechnerd]

with mantle for amd I would go for the 270x to see some later performance increase in some games. It's also cheaper.

[bbqsauce]

SGD? 

singapore dollar.

its 1 USD to 1.3SGD

i'll give it a look. but between shipping and tax cost, it might not work out though.

I'd grab the 680. Its got better performance then the 760 and is cheaper.

There's also the 270. You could overclock it and it would perform as good as the 270x, they're pretty much the same card.
