I was going to use the MSI R9 270X Gaming video card w/ 3GB Video Ram in a build I hopefully will be doing soon, but I heard that those and the 7870 GHz editions are practically the same, and I can get a 7870 for around $70 cheaper. So which is a better buy? I'll link my build and the links for the 270X and the 7870 GHz to help. Thanks!
