Will these parts suffice?

Well, there's an analysis on Tom's here; http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/radeon-r9-280x-r9-270x-r7-260x,review-32796-13.html.

Granted, it's the "X" version of these cards but you can still make a comparison. The 260 isn't exactly a slouch, but the 270 is the clear winner.

Just so i know, is there really that much of a difference between the R9 270 and the R7 260?
Here is an R9 i found, do the specs really make that much of a difference?

Compared to R7 260 linked above the specs seem very similar, is it worth bumping up $100 for a R9 270?

(Also thank you to the quick informative replies on the parts to STACKS ON DECK and bicycle_repair_man)
