i personally have the sapphire R9 270x for gaming , its good , its clocked at 1.05 Ghz , R9 270 is clocked at 925Mhz
R9 270 has 18 less CU's.
R9 270 still performs almost similar to that of R9 270x also it requires less power , what i believe is that with the extra power the R9 270x takes you have a bigger headroom to overclock and push the card further which really matters too !
Personally i would go with the R9 270x.
If you can put some slightly more bucks , i'd deifinitely take the GTX 760 , its a gr8 card also performs better than R9 270x , so yeah your choice , though you didnt mention but i gave you an extra option.
18 CU less???? Both the R9 270X and non-X has the same stream processors of 1280. No difference. The only thing that is different is pixelation and texellation that R9 270X is slightly better. But they perform the same.

Thankyou I appreciate the suggestion and im looking into the 760.
Firstly , your wrong , what i meant was something different i am not talking about Stream Processors/CUDA Cores here , i am talking about compute units built into the Gfx card for computation purposes.
In this case the Computation performance of a R9 270 is slightly less than the R9 270x , it draws less power its clocked a bit slower , and also gives a 2.37 TFLOPS compute performance as opposed to R9's 2.67 TFLOPS.
I dont knowhow much of an impact this has in gaming , but i can tell that the R9 requires more power (180 W) and also should be able to provide a bigger headroom for overclocking.

Difference in FPS is always around say 4~5 Fps.
