270x could only catch a 760 right now if Mantel allows it to. 760>270x, as their original MSRP of $250 and $180 suggests. Now because of coin mining most 270xs are still usually $210 or more. Meanwhile 760s have been at a stead $250 more or less since launch.

 

To the OP, I would consider getting a 270x if the price is bellow $200 like this one that I found via PC part picker. Club 3D 270x @ NCIX. It's a very deep discount considering the state of the market, but that's only good for the next 5 days. I'd jump on that $180 deal while it lasts.

 

The 650 ti Boost is a dumb buy right now unless it's like $130. They look hard to find online. I'd be more interested in a 750 ti than a 650 ti Boost because of it's minimal specifications and it being newer.

For some perspective:

270x > 270 > 265 > 660 > 650 Ti BOOST
