Hi, I'm a little bit confused on which one to buy for my gaming build. My options are :
HIS AMD Radeon 2GB R9 270X IceQ X² Turbo Boost Clock
MSI AMD Radeon R9-270X GAMING 2G
HIS AMD Radeon HD 7870 IceQ
GIGABYTE AMD Radeon HD 7870
All the prices are quite the same in my country (Indonesia)
And also, what's the difference between HD7870 and R9 270x???
is Corsair builder series CX500 good for these GPUs?

Thanks ^.^

I would go with the R9 270X. It's new, has higher clock speeds, and if it costs about the same as the 7870 that's even better. Either R9 270X would work, look at the feature differences between the two and determine which one is worth the price for the features it provides.

For the PSU, 500w is MINIMUM by those cards, though to be safe I'd go a little higher, maybe 650w. If you plan on Crossfire, go for a 750w PSU. Recommend Corsair for any of those.
