Listen to Avro, the r9 series is now overpriced. Who knows when it will come back down, it jumped around Christmas due to litecoin miners. I'm also a big fan of the 760. If you plan on getting one, the best is the MSI GTX760 Twin Frozr OC edition. It's been selling for around $249.00 with rebates. Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127745 Just keep checking for a sale, it won't take a few days.

well i live in indonesia so the prices here are very different the MSI GTX760 Twin Frozr OC edition cost 300 US dollars here in my country so is it still the best VGA for that kind of price? the Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 DUAL-X cost 220 US dollars here i dont mind spending more if i know the GTX 760 has a much better performance compared to the r9 270x though what do you think?

Dont buy R9 270X , get R9 270 instead .R9 270X is just the same video card but a little factory overclocked-the same number of shaders, texture units,compute units. R9 270 is only 5% slower than X vers. but is cheaper .It is easily overclocked and so it outperforms the X versions . GTX 760 is 18% faster than R9 270.

Turns out that mobo won't accept more than one gpu. Most people only run off of one anyhow. Some run two; in order to do so you need a mobo with two PCI x 16 or more. You'll need to upgrade down the road, but don't worry about it for now.
