Which gpu to buy? gtx 660 or r9 270x

[dadobond]

Hello as i sed i am thinking about buying a new GPU and i want to know is it worth about 30 bucks more for getting r9 270x instead of gtx 660. BTW my current GPU is HD 6770. And here are my spec:
CPU: Intel core i5 2400 Sandy Bridge, socket 1155 LGA
Mainboard: ASRock H61M/U3S3
2x2gb of ram ---i will also upgrade to 2x4gb
PSU: CORSAIR CX600

So i want to know which GPU is better for my rig.

I would get the r9 270x. It is better in almost every way and will be worth spending that extra money for.

you can save 10 or so dollars by going with the R9 270 because it is practically the same when overclocked

Yes, r7 270 or 270x, whichever good aftermarket cooler is cheaper, and if a gtx 760 is within your budget, get it.

You can get a 270x for around $200usd. It's a beast and will beat a 270. Also, you get a free copy of BF4 with it.

I have the R9 270 overclocked max at 1170 mhz core and 1500 mhz memory (I'm not lying). It surpasses the R9 270X in terms of performance.

So I would get R9 270 because it's equivalent to GTX 760 and it has Mantle which will become useful since more and more games are coming out for AMD platform.
