Hi! I'm planning to build my first serious gaming pc. I'm on a tight budget and I can't decide whether to get the MSI r9 270x gaming or the MSI N760 hawk GPU which costs $33 more where I am. Is the MSI N760 worth the $35 I would have to add to get it? I'm quite new to PC gaming but I would like to play games like BF4, Crysis 3, AC4, Skyrim, Tomb Raider and the likes. I know I can still play those games with the 270x gaming so is the n760 hawk worth adding $35? Thanks in advance!

Doesn't matter if the core speed is higher, would still go for the gtx 760 because its just as good or a bit better than the r9 270x and the nvidia drivers are most of the time more stable.

Thanks for the quick reply guys. I'm also kinda leaning towards getting the hawk. What's holding me back is that i read in some threads and some reviews that there isn't really much of a difference in game between the two. I understand that higher core speed is better but since I'm on a tight budget, i wudn't want to spend $35 more if it's not really gonna make a noticeable difference. So you think it's still worth it?

well a stock 760 is about 15% faster than a stock 270x so if you went with a stock 760 it would just barely be worth the extra cost. but being a 760 hawk which is factory overclocked and is THE best 760 you can buy then performance per dollar is quite a bit better with the hawk. not to mention its just overall a better built card. in battlefield 4 which is the most AMD optimised game I can think of the 760 still performs on par with the 270x.

to some it all up just get the 760 hawk
