So guys I'm planning to build my first gaming pc. Which of these video cards should I go with? Is the older 7950 stronger than the new r9 270x? The 7950 is the cheapest among the three but are the new features of the 270x worth the extra $?
270X is a rebadged 7870 GHz, its the slowest of the bunch. 7870XT is for the most part a 7950 with a 2GB frame buffer, if the 7950 is the cheapest thats the one to go with.

There's no way that the HD 7950 is the cheapest of the three when the HD 7870XT sells for $180 (-$30 mail-in-rebate):

Well, that is in CAD and the cheapest 7950 I found is just 184.99 while the 7870 xt is at 189.99 so I don't think you know what you are talking about
