What kind of GPU would you recommend for $130-140?

If you can afford to get a 270x, nothing beats it for that price.

Trying to look for a $130-140 CAD Graphics Card. What GPU would you recommend? Would it handle up to R9 270x or thats pushing it?

 

My Build so far:

 

CPU: AMD FX-6300
MOBO: Asus M5A97 R2.0/USB 3.0

RAM: HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3-1866MHz

GPU: GTX 750 ti or R7 260x/265 or R9 270k

HDD: WD BLUE 1TB
SSD: Samsung 840 Evo 120gb

I've seen a person using an i7 and GTX 780 (think it was a Ti) on an RM450 before. Granted it drew around 430 Watts, but it sure should handle any of the GPUs you just mentioned.

Personally, the first GPU that always pops in my head for that price is the 750 Ti but I must admit that I'm a tiny bit of an Nvidia fan as their cards support CUDA which I think is nice for rendering.

It can handle a GTX 970 easily with an overclocked i5 for example.

 

Low TDP cards are awesome.
