Advice on r9 270x please ?

[Temptationz]

Hi all, I am looking for a graphics card for my recent gaming built pc but wanted to know which card is better to get as I will be playing on a single hd 1920 x 1080p monitor but want high/ultra settings, my budget is around £200. The sapphire 270x toxic 2gb has really caught my eye and with it's good reviews also but is it worth it for what I want to use it for ?, the games that I would be playing are Minecraft, Day - Z, BF4, COD and most titles and new ones such as Titanfall.

My Gaming Build as it stands:

CPU - Intel i5 - 4670k 3.4ghz Standard
Mobo - Asus Maximus Hero IV
Memory - 8GB Corsair Vengeance LP 1866MHZ
PSU - Corsair 750w Modular
Case - Gigabyte Sumo
CPU Cooler - Xigmatek Dark Knight

yes, it is worth it and iss a good choice for intended high end game titles.

What cpu do you have, just to be sure your not slowing cards gaming potential

Would you recommend this over the gtx 760 ? & my cpu is an intel i5-4670k 3.4ghz Gee Bee

Hi mate thank you for your info I will defiantly have a look at this one as people say gigabyte cards have better cooling than others, where can I get this card with bf4 though please ? & sorry I didn't mean to make other comment best answer I'm currently using my phone.

He's probably saying its 160 quids if you buy that card and BF4 separately.

Yeah maybe. I'm rele not sure which one to get either the gigabyte or toxic but reading revies about both cards, people say the toxic is the best 270x to have, also is 60fps good for pc gaming ?

Couldnt find one that i got for 160 must of been lucky! but this was 4gb of ddr5 ram for few pounds more decent deal that.

Thank you for all your help Fozzard mate, that is a good deal indeed but I think I'm going to get a gtx 770 instead not sure yet though, I'm new to PC gaming so I don't want to spend too much money on a graphics card but want one that is going to play most games on ultra/high settings at decent frames rate but is also going to last me at least a couple of years.
