Get the 2gb 270x or wait for AMD's 300 series. And get 2 sticks of ram to take advantage of dual channel

Well that specific graphics card fits in the case quite nicely. The 3GB graphics card i tried would block the drive bay

The motherboard he went for has 2 slots for ram so 2 sticks of ram would fill up all the slots limit his ability to add more ram. Dual channel has absolutely no benefit for gaming that it shouldn't be considered

• Almost no noticeable difference in gaming. (Sorry, did I say "almost?" I meant "no noticeable difference.")

Mate it is due to you buying the 4gb version, ignore that and get the 280x for the same price. The card is miles better

of if the 280x is still too big try going for the ITX versions of the R9 285 or 970.

 

Because a 4GB R9 270x seems like a waste of money when there are better choices.
