The build would be something like this then, it's a little over budget because a 700W power supply is significantly more expensive than a 500W one:

Yea I'd go for the 270x over the 270. It's about 10-20 pounds more and performs 5-20 fps better than the regular 270 in most games. For Crossfire a 700W PSU is recommended I think.
