I am going to buy a new graphics card so I can upgrade from my 7770 since some of the games I am playing are being held back by it. I am thinking about getting an R9 270X just because it is at the $199 price point and is a really good value for the money. I have found three that I have liked, Asus, MSI, and Gigabyte. I liked all of them for the looks since I have a red and black themed build, but I want to know which one is the best I can get. I would also like some opinions too.

The main difference between all of them is the cooling system. Some are quieter while some keep the GPU cooler. But you'll have to read up more reviews. The sound from your games could also cover the noise made by the GPU

So to make things simple, just buy the cheapest one. Don't let higher clocked cards attract you. They are usually more expensive but it is actually very easy to overclock a GPU. AMD's GPUs come with Catalyst Control Center which would assist you in overclocking.
