So I'm looking for a new graphics card, and I was looking to get this one. Then I looked through the 270X's and found this one that's cheaper. I've never used a HIS card and I don't know how good they are. Should I go with the 270 or the 270X?

If you dont need to buy right away I would recommend you wait a bit and see what the price ends up being on the 960's. 

 

If you do need one right away, but the Asus.

Wait for the GTX 960's, the performance should be better if not same as the GTX 770/R9 280X.

there's no point in waiting if he needs it now

I can wait a bit, I'd just rather a new card. My APU is getting a bit too slow.

Edit: the GTX 960 that is

It's meant to be $300 less suppsoedly. I would say around $250-275 at launch, but you never know

Okay thanks guy's. I'll just get a card when I get paid. I don't know the exact amount so which one is still to be determined. Thanks all.
