R9 270X vs GTX 760

[bluemelon]

Hello, when I was looking to buy the R9 270X on newegg I saw the gtx 760 for only about 30 bucks more, I was wondering if the GTX 760 is worth the 30 dollars or should I just stick with the R9 270X i'm having a hard time deciding so I figured I'd ask here. Also I have a crappy A8 3850 APU and was wondering would it be fine with one of these two cards, I hope so because I don't think I'll have enough to buy a cpu and gpu. One last thing to, I'm going to need a new PSU and was wondering if I should get a higher powered psu in case I want to sli or crossfire in the future. Thanks for reading!

Here's a comparison between the cards. They're very similar.

The main justification for choosing the GTX 760 would be that Nvidia's hardware tends to run somewhat cooler than AMD's which increases card stability.

I'd believe its worth the extra, not for the cooling or anything, just that it performs flat out better. The 760 is more along the lines of the R9 280.
