Gtx 660 or r9 270x or hd 7870 which one out of these can be best paired with fx 6300 a six core amd processor to play bf4 on high-ultta settings on 1080p display?
Plz note the budget for gpu is under $200 and not planning to exceed it.
I decided to settle on gtx 660 to use shadowplay for recording my gameplay hassle free and paying nothing else I would be using softwares like fraps for which I would have to pay.
Would fx 6300 be fine for mild video editing.

600w is plenty for r9 270x. When you decide to crossfire you MIGHT need to upgrade psu.

Quote: "For a system using a single AMD Reference Design Radeon R9 270X graphics card AMD specifies a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater system power supply. The power supply should also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 30 Amps or greater and have at least two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

For a system using two AMD Reference Design Radeon R9 270X graphics cards in 2-way CrossFireX mode AMD specifies a minimum of an 700 Watt or greater system power supply. The power supply should also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 43 Amps or greater and have at least four 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors."

I also would go with the Radeon R9 270x over the other two. Main reasons I believe certain games run better with Radeon cards vs Geforce cards...and vice versa. Battlefield 4 seems to run better with the Radeon cards. Also, and it's just my experience, matching up a Radeon GPU with a AMD processor also has performed better than with Geforce cards with Intel. I've had a number of gaming systems over the years and that's how I've been matching up my systems. Personal preference. Good luck in whatever choice you decide on.

Alright, 660<7870<270x

270x is basically a bit better than a 7870 + it has newer architecture, so I'd only get the 7870 if its a lot cheaper than the 270x.

You won't be happy with a 660, not in this day and age.
