Help picking a GPU

Hey guys, I'm looking to get a new GPU for an upcoming build, and don't want to spend too much on decent 1080p performance. I was debating the r9 380 (4gb), the r9 280x and the rumored 380x. Which would get me the best 1080p performance for my dollar? I'll be playing mainly CoD, GTA V, and other popular games.

I'll be pairing the GPU with an i5 4460 and 8gb of RAM.

i would go with R9 380. But i would consider waiting until i could buy R9 390 for really good 1080p gaming.

280X would be the best but if you can find a new 380 4GB cheaper I would go for that

280x probably unless you see a deal on a 290 or a cheap 380 4GB

Would the GTX 970 be worth the extra 150$? I'm in Canada BTW which may be why prices are wonky, the r9 380 (4gb) is actually cheaper than the r9 280x. I don't wnat to spend more then I absolutely HAVE to.

380>280x>280
