The store I will be purchasing my components from has these GPUs.

1. LEADTEK GTX760 2GB D5 256BIT
2. SAPPHIRE R9 270X 2GB D5 OC

I copy-pasted them as per the catalogue.

My question is, are these two on the same tier? I want to play Guild Wars 2 on max settings and 1080p.

Also, I am a video editor and as such, use programs such as Premiere Pro and After Effects.

Which will I benefit most from and by how much?

Thanks.

NOTE: I plan on getting the i7-4770k.

I would go for the GTX 760 but from a good brand: Asus, EVGA, MSi just don't save money on parts by buying from non-famous brands. It will pay for itself in the headaches when something fails. The GTX 760 beats the R9 270X in every benchmark, both synthetic and real life. The only "advantage" the R9 270x has is a higher clock, which also shows that AMD needs higher clocks to compensate for less performance/watt and hotter GPU's.
