Hi.

I'm buying new computer and don't know which graphic card is better? I checked few tests and reviews and they are quite similar.
What do you recommend?

More about : gtx 660 270

Grab the GTX 760 instead. It's a pretty equal card to the R9 270 which is better than GTX 660. Also, 760 is about 10% better than R9 270.

Relatively the same. AMD is a bit quicker. I say pick one with the best cooling solution/cheapest and go with it. Whats your budget.

I'd take 760, but it's 100$ more expensive.
I guess I'll pick R9 270.

What do you think about this build anyway:
i5 4670K
gigabyte z87-hd3
kingston hyperx blue 2x4GB
seagate barracuda 1tb
xfx pro 550W

Looks good. Solid build NOT at a Ultra setting rig but med-high setting.

price is the same.
in some reviews i've seen that GTX has lower temperatures than r9. so i guess GTX has better cooling solution?
budget is 190€ (or about 260$)

well, I don't have money for ultra setting rig (and even don't really need it). i'll have this pc at home and i'll be using it only at weekends when i'm home, other days this will be used by my bro and mom mostly.

It's a solid build. All you have to do is upgrade your GPU in the future and you will play in Ultra setting.

I've just found radeon 7870 for a decent price. Is this one is better than GTX and r9?

No, I'm pretty sure the gtx 760 and r9-270 is superior to the radeon 7870.

r9 270 is 5% faster than 7870 GHz Edition
H87 has only crossfire support no sli , as i see , so z87 for sli btw , i dont like sli but only one card . .
for instance
cpu i5 4570
mobo ASRock H87 Pro4 -$88
gpu MSI GTX .760 Twin Frozr

WTH? if you can't run ultra settings with a ATI R9 270 something is seriously wrong with your setup.

A med-high setting card? Those are cards with half the R9 270's power like the 650 Ti or 7790 ,And you can actually run ultra settings in allot of games with those crap cards.
