Hey guys, I'm planning on building a pc for adobe CS and gaming but have no idea what GPU to go with? My budget for the GPU is no more than is around £150. What GPU should i get? And should i wait for the next gen which doesn't seem to have huge improvement. I need a decent next gen PC that will last a while. Also I'd welcome buying a dual GPU in a years time.
My build currently looks like this http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/1MqFC
Thanks

According to this article: AMD Radeon R9 280X, R9 270X, And R7 260X: Old GPUs, New Names, the R9 270X and the 7870 GHz Edition use the same chip. As a result, performance between the two are almost identical, with the 270X having a slightly higher clock speed.

The R9 270X can be found a slight bit cheaper than the 7870 GHz Edition, but it basically ends up a wash as far as performance.

I'm sorry, I didn't even notice you were from the UK, your prices may be different.
