I'm about to be upgrading my system for BF4. Gonna be getting an fx8320 and was set on getting an r9 280x.

I'm looking to play at high-ultra 1080p with ~60 fps. Will this be possible with anything less than a 280x? Will a 270x suffice? I'm also considering that Mantle may boost fps a bit for these cards.
 
280x will generally max out every game made at 1080p and average 60fps. only couple games will need a few settings like antialiasing turned down a notch to maintain 40fps or higher. the 270x is considerably slower than the 280x... probably about 25-30% slower.
