I'm building a pc, and I dont know which gpu to choose.
I was watching to the r9 270 and found different brands, and I wanted to know if the powercolor brand is good? because is the cheapest.
Here are the options I'm considering: (I'm on a small budged, 180 max, no flexible)

PowerColor AMD Radeon R9 270 2GB GDDR5 OC $160
XFX Double D R9 270 925MHz Boost 2GB GDDR5 $174
Gigabyte R9 270 GDDR5-2GB 2 $178
Sapphire Radeon R9 270 2GB GDDR5 dual-x $172

and I also found a MSI 660 gaming 2gb $171

Which of these options is the best? which brand is more reliable?

Sapphire R9 270.
Sapphire is the best brand for AMD cards and it is slightly better than the 660. ;)

I have had very good luck with Sapphire cards. Powercolor..Not so much.

I've never had any problems with XFX. Sapphire's reliable though like the other's are saying. Gigabyte is also fairly reliable from my understanding.

I've had issues with XFX and heard of many others who have too. Love XFX PSU's but not graphics cards.
