Going down to the 270 would only save about 20-30 bucks so it wont be worth it Exept if you simply cannot wait for those 20-30 bucks.

Sorry i didnt reply earlier, I was troubleshooting a friends PC,

He is not the best at knowing where to download stuff..

He had about 10/20 of those viruses that recreate themselves when deleted and had the harddrive pretty much full of crapware.
