Gigabyte r9 270x or MSI GTX 760?

[simix1919]

Title says it all.
The build I am going for is: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/3qhNT
I have the choice between Gigabyte R9 270x or MSI GTX 760.
Which one should I buy and why?
The r9 270x has a lower price and Mantle
but the GTX 760 performs a bit better but is more expensive.

GTX760 is better. R9270x is more bang for a buck deal.
i would pick the GTX760.

Can you tell me some reasons why the GTX 760 is better?

At the same core clocks the benchmarks of the 760 are greater.
Also if you are using a 1080p display then 760 is the minimum requirement to max out games.

I'd get the 760 aswell. You are not going to have a CPU bottleneck so from what I have seen mantle isn't going to help alot. But if money is a big concern the 270x is still a decent GPU. Also any specific reason you are spending $54 on an optical drive that costs $20 elsewhere?

The optical drive is 19.50$ lol where did you see 54$?

When i opened the parts list it has it for 54 at amazon.ca. My filter for the canadian site was messed up.
