[eboy4032]

The r270x has 4gb of gddr5 but the gtx 760 super clocked is said to be better than the gtx 680. Which is better? Here are the links

well, the regular 760 is a tiny faster than the 270x, so the super clocked one will be a bit faster still. the extra vram will not improve performance unless you need that much, which you probably dont.

4 GB of VRAM on an R7 270X is a waste of money. The 270X GPU doesn't have the horsepower to game with the settings/resolution where > 2 GB of VRAM might see some use. Unless your performance is actually limited by VRAM capacity, having 4 GB won't help you.

The GTX 760 when overclocked is probably faster than the GTX 670; it definitely cannot catch the 680. It sounds like you may be confusing it with the 770.

At a baseline the GTX 760 is faster than the 270X, and also more expensive. If you want to pay the extra, the 760 is the clearly better card.

Or you could get a R9 280 and overclock to R9 280X speeds:

270 OC =270X < 760< 280< 770 = 280X

having 4gb on a 270x is not a waste of money if you crossfire it, and that is the sole purpose it exists. what is your budget for the card?

+1 to this

What PSU do you have, model/brand?

my budget on the card is 150-250 here is my build so far but based on what you guys said I think I should go with the 760 super clocked http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3Krxa

yup, 760.
