Adding a 270 in a build this budget would be eh.  Besides, this build should be able to handle pretty much anything at 720p and some games at 1080p.

750 Ti allows you to get away with the crappy OEM PSU that comes with the case, so definitely recommend it over a 270 for only a very slight loss in performance. See how it performs here:

This one pretty cheap 

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 

Motherboard: some cheapo asrock motherboard that's less than 40$

RAM: 2x2gb team elite 1333 ram.

GPU: R7 270

HDD: WD Blue 500gb

Case: Source 210

PSU: Hec Raptor 2 500w 

 

if I calculated correctly. should be at 341.21$ with the r7 270 and much cheaper with a 6850 :)

 

note: This are just some left overs that the store didn't sell and being sold at this price. few weeks ago (I just slapped in the cheapest r7 270 and added it up).

Live your life like a dream.

Op you can't fit an r9 270 into that budget without sacrificing on EVERYTHING else, I would go for the 260x build up there, much more balanced and it will run dota 2 just fine. You don't need a 270 it seems like.
