Gigabyte R9 270x or Asus R9 270x

[Fletcher_Johnson]

Hi, I am currently in the market for buying and building my own custom PC, however I cannot choose between the Gigabyte R9 270x (Windforce) or the Asus R9 270x (Direct CU II). They both have 2GB of VRAM but I cannot decide. I will be playing games like CSGO, TF2, Minecraft, Besiege and Maybe battlefield 4 eventually

Should I choose a GTX 950 instead? Thanks.

The 270X is the stronger of the 2 and I'd go the Asus, their CU cooling is extremely good and make OCing easier

Thanks, would an i5 4460 bottleneck asus 270x crossfire?

Nope, not at all
