Well it would be really nice to get a free BF4 but is it worth it to get the better card? Would it really have that much of a difference?
Btw my motherboard and cpu are pretty outdated (athlon ii x4 640) so I'm thinking I'll probably be bottlenecking it anyway.
 


Yeah, that's a good card. But, if you're going to get this card for $180 and then pay $50 for BF4, you might as well stick with the 270x - same money, better card, same game.

Use pcpartpicker.com to make sure you get the best deal. I did look up the GV-R927OC-2GD and you did find the best deal for it at Amazon for $180.

In general, for Radeon cards, I trust Asus, Gigabyte, XFX, Sapphire and MSI more than other brands.

Yes I'm using part picker, I'll probably take your advice and go with the 270x with the free BF4. That way I get the better card and the game for cheaper if I bought them separate. My old card is an XFX and it's been good to me over the years.
