The R9 270 is a really good card, the Windforce cooler is really good and it comes with BF4. I think it is your best choice

The HD 7870 and the R9 270 are very close. They are better than the other cards you mentioned.

Sure. The R9 270 needs one 6-pin power connector.

Edit: and so does your GTX 650. The connector you used for that card will work for the new card too.

That's not true, you only need one power connector for the R9 270.

Because you may need more power delivered to the GPU for overclocking.

Yes, you don't have to have two.
Well, Sapphire is very well known for their high quality a well cooled AMD GPUs, I'd go for it.
