Best R9 270X for the money!

[WitheredWednesday]

hi everyone,

i am looking at buying a new graphics card, and i thought that the best option for me would be an R9 270X, i have been looking at three of the top specced GPU's for under £200, i would love to know which one would be best for my purposes.

My processor is an AMD A10 5700 APU, i have read that this can handle this graphics card, i play a few games, mostly Battlefield 3 and will be playing Battlefield 4.

These are the three that i have been looking at lately...

MSI R9 270X HAWK: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2gb-msi-radeon-r9-270x-hawk-28nm-5600mhz-gddr5-gpu-1100mhz-boost-1150mhz-1280-streams-dp-2x-dl-dvi-h

XFX R9 270X Black Edition:http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2gb-xfx-radeon-r9-270x-dd-black-edition-28nm-6000mhz-gddr5-gpu-1100mhz-1280-streams-2x-dl-dvi-hdmi-2

ASUS Radeon R9 270X: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2gb-asus-radeon-r9-270x-directcu-ii-top-28nm-5600mhz-gddr5-gpu-1120mhz-1280-streams-dp-dvi-hdmi

I would love to know which one is best out of those three, Thanks

well its kinda down to what else you want from the card, for example with me i want to run a near silent system.

ive tried a few different cards but i found by far the new msi cooling system is by far the quietest, so personally id choose the msi as they will all have very similar temps anyway

This is the best for the price:

i disagree that 3 fans are required for a 270X.. not that they wouldnt be good but not neccessary and will be noisier, but depending if you want to overclock or not, 2 fans is more than enough.
