Hi guys im excited that im going to upgrade my PC in the upcoming week(s).
My PC is a http://www.acer.com.ph/ac/en/PH/content/model/DT.SJQSP.005 , had it for about a year and half, and i threw it a 7750 in it since it didn't require a PSU upgrade.

I've had fun overall and it was a good card, but i need to step it up and upgrade my pc since im not getting a ps4 (at least not at the moment).
Im looking for a PSU+GPU combo that you guys can suggest with a ~$300 budget.
Atm im looking at a SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520W + SAPPHIRE r9 270x for about $270.
I saw a EVGA GTX 760 SC on newegg on sale for $250 which i really wanted, but i can't get it (too much people ordering it). I don't feel like getting other 760 if i can't have that one, but maybe you can convince me, who knows.

Any alternative options or opinions you guys can share? I don't need to spend all 300 and get the most out of it, so a cheaper solution is just as good.
Thanks a lot!
 
Solution
Definetily go with the 760 if you can get it. The 270x is a good card too but if you can get the 760 for the price you want you should go for that. Unfortunately a very popular card :)
The 760 is a more powerful GPU which is based on the GK104 with slight disabled shaders and it performs better than the 270x and if you can buy the 760 definitely its my recommendation.Though the 270x is a great card but the difference of 40$ is clearly worth the performance you get out of a 760
