Michael Angelo Domer :
but the difference in price is kinda big and well over my budget. or should i get the sapphire r9 270x toxic instead of the 760s?
welll...maybe, here is the benchmarked card one against the other, the performance is quite similar, one do better in one game and the other does better in some other games, check it out and chose the one that performs better in the games you play...

Also check at features offered by nvidia vs amd, amd has mantle and true audio, nvidia has physicx and shadowplay...
One thing for sure is that sapphire is a brand to be recommanded, excellent customer service and great quality products.
