270 vs 270 x

If it's only a 10EUR difference, if you can afford it, go with it.

 

Sure you can overclock the 270 to reach 270X speeds but with the 270X you have 'guaranteed' speeds. And there's always that lottery game.

 

Wise words from Master Qui-Gon Jinn - "Whenever you gamble, my friend, eventually you'll lose"

You can bark like a dog, but that won't make you a dog.

You can act like someone you're not, but that won't change who you are.

 

Finished Crysis without a discrete GPU,15 FPS average, and a lot of heart

 

How I plan my builds -

Spoiler

For me I start with the "There's no way I'm not gonna spend $1,000 on a system."

Followed by the "Wow I need to buy the OS for a $100!?"

Then "Let's start with the 'best budget GPU' and 'best budget CPU' that actually fits what I think is my budget."

Realizing my budget is a lot less, I work my way to "I think these new games will run on a cheap ass CPU."

Then end with "The new parts launching next year is probably gonna be better and faster for the same price so I'll just buy next year."

Gigabyte Windforce R9 270x is a great card....my son has it in his FX 6300 rig.  Keeps cool and provides great performance at the price range.....the 270x is overclocked at the factory...c'mon, turn your nose at the 10 EUR and get the x flavor :P
