im going to build my first pc and i am stuck with these three: r7 260, r7 265 and the gtx 750 ti. whicn of these are the best? cus im going to use these for obviously for gaming, vid editing and game recording...

if you want to know what cpu am i using, it is either an i3 - 4160 or an i5 - 4460.

what he said, the little extra investment is really worth it, r7 265 is a crippled r9 270 and not worth the price difference, the r7 260(x) delivers even worse performance. and the 750 (ti) are not the best bang for the buck, they are made for efficiency.
get the r9 270, you will be very happy.

put in a little more money and buy a r9 270, its only 160$ and far better than the other contenders.

i would buy a r9 270 BUT it is too much for my needs (not too much for my money)

the 270 is a better bang for the buck card than the others that you stated

thanks for the answer! and another Question. if i pick the r9 270 or the r9 270x, will it bottleneck the i3s and the i5s?

the 270x is just an overclocked 270, get it only when it is less than $15 more than a normal 270.
and it will not be bottlenecked by an i5, the i5 can handle it with ease :)
the i3 will bottleneck the 270 maybe a bit in cpu intensive games, but nothing to worry about.

Lol if the 270X is an overclocked 270 then that must mean my GPU's overclock is an overclock of an overclock of an overclock (HD 7870 + OC = R9 270 apparently, R9 270X apparently is an overclock of 270 - I overclocked my 270X)

I'm pretty sure the 270 is a cut down 270X.

nope, the 270 is the 270x with lower clock speeds, the cut down version is the r7 265

maybe, but the 270x has 2 6pins, the 270 has 1, so the 270x has a oc potential.
