The i5 build is better. Although i would recommend at least an R9 280, over the R9 270X.

 

You could save a bit o' cash, by getting a cheaper cpu cooler - because you won't get that much of an OC on that board. If you are gonna run at stock speeds, you can get a cheap 212 EVO cooler, as it's better than the stock fan and that saved cash could get you the R9 280.

Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.

Look at build from Deletive. Forget 270x at your price range. 280x or 290 at least.

Also, go for CL9 rams. Lower latency.

Oh, and get the Corsair CSM. It's way better than the CX one.

You could add a second graphics card for crossfire.  To do this, you would also need a higher wattage PSU, though, and maybe even an i7 and some extra RAM to prevent bottlenecking.  This upgrade would be far in the future.
