Hello, I have a 450w antec psu, and i was wondering if i could run a r9 270x specifically the saphire vaporx or msi version. If not im going to buy the gtx 660 sc. Thanks.

The 270x would be more powerful but draw more watts, but the 660 should be ok with your current psu provided no overclocks. You could just get this psu and the 270x, or just get 660.

37 Usd after rebates

If you can't then I would recommend 660 at your own peril.

Im going with a gtx 660 or r9 270 dual x by sapphire. Which would be better? The r9 270 is 199 and ill pay for 2 day shipping so itll be 220 or the gtx 660 sc which would be the same price but includes 2 games. The r9 includes bf4.

You could also go with 770 for 320(Newegg), and get three free games. Personally reason I suggested 280x and/or 770 is more future proof. Although you will need new psu.

770:
