so i plan on getting a 270x and i usually tend to go with msi or asus cards but ive heard good things about the toxic cards. i dont mind spending a little more but are the toxic cards really that much better?
 
Solution
if your case has decent amount of airflow, its easy to overclock this card a bit. I would recomment to work with the car at stock settings for a month before attempting anything

i cannot state something like that since i don't know exactly what you expect from the GPU.
If you really want to overclock the GPU go with the expensive cooling solution
If you don't want this either downgrade your pick, or upgrade it to a r9 280 or a gtx 770 with a worse cooling solution

i had a 280x ordered but it cancelled due the surge of people buying them up haha same with e 7970 and 7950. i was looking into 770 but i think ill just go with a 270x i was trying to keep budget at 300 max but 280x is going for 400 now and 770 is a bit above 300 as well. also for some reason ive always gone amd never nvidia the 770 performs about same as 280x right
