So, I;m buying a new rig and basically it is :

i5-4670
gigabyte gaming 3 z97 mobo
600w fsp 88+ psu
8gb hyper x fury ram
1 tb wd blue hdd
samsung 840 evo ssd

I can get either r9 270x sapphire edition (dua x) or gainward's gtx 660 ti phantom. There is just a little price difference which is not a problem to me. I am personally NVIDIA fanboy but I thought this r9 270x would be a better choice because its much newer. On the other side, I saw many streamers and youtubers having 660 ti, so yea, any help would be appreciated.

P.S. NO, I dont play bf4 or thief
