hey guys
i decided to go for any of these 3 cards for a resolution of 1440x900 .
actually I want to max out most games so which in your opinion is better and if you have any other suggestions you are welcomed.
I have a 550 watt PSU so is this enough for any of these card or should I upgrade.(processor-fx6300).
thanks for your responses.

I'd suggest you Sapphire R9 270x Dual-x for your resolution and save some bucks while R9 280x might be little overkill at that resolution. I see no point in getting costly Toxic edition card for R9 270x just for small performance benefits. But if you really choose wanna 270x Toxic & r9 280 then r9 280 will be better choice since r9 280 has much greater performance than r9 270x Toxic
But if you'r going to upgrade your monitor to 1080p then you better get the 280x/280( whichever is in your budget)

A good quality 550W PSU will be fine for any of these cards

The R9 270x would be a good fit at that resolution. Best price/performance.
One thing to consider is if you think you will using the resolution for the foreseeable future. Consider the 280 if you think you might move to 1080p.

What PSU do you have?

With that PSU you should be better off with R9 270x Dual-x(since it consumes less power than Toxic)since it's not that great PSU and uses low-quality capacitors which donot handle the load well.
For 280/280x you might consider upgrading your PSU first
