It should be noted that the z87M-G43 is a micro atx board and the GPU I'm looking at is the Asus R9 270 and not the R9 270x.
Questions:
1. I don't know much about DirectCU II, except that it is cooler and quieter. Is it also true that GPUs with this use up 3 PCI-E slots? I certainly hope not.
2. In my country, the 270 and the 270 differ in price of about USD $60. Am I making the right choice in purchasing the 270?
3. I plan on playing Guild Wars 2 and hear that wvw is very taxing on the CPU, whilst the GPU can help it by increasing frame rates. How will the 270 hold in wvw, compared to the 270x?
