I was deciding between R9 270x and R9 280x for my gaming rig. But when I watched a youtube video. The uploader has Intel pentium g3258 + gtx 750 ti, and he's playing BF 4, which produced average 50 FPS, just like i7 with the same gpu.

My previously planned the ff:

i5-4590, Asus z97a, and r9 280x.

But I think it'll be enough for me to play using r9 270x. But there's so much brands. What do you think is the best one?

MSI R9 270X HAWK 2GD5 256bit Video Card
ASUS R9 270X DC2 TOP 2G 256bit Video Card
Sapphire R9-270X Dual-X Boost OC 4GB GDDR5 256 Bit Video Card

The MSI one is about $15 more expensive than the other two.

I'll be using Pentium G3258

Asus is a good brand also I've used their cards plenty and never had any problems and lately have been using Powercolor video cards and had no issues either.

I would suggest you still go with an i5 4590 if you can with a R9 270X/R9 280. You could go with a cheaper motherboard by going H97 but the ASUS Z97-A is still fine to use.
The ASUS or MSI hawk will be fine. Hawk will have a slight advantage but not much.
