I am planning on building my first gaming pc and I am on a budget. The Dual-X R9 270x is $20 cheaper than the other two card, which are the same price. I am planning on having one monitor for gaming and a 24" TV as a desktop screen. I plan on playing games like Planetside 2, Battlefield 4, Evolve, etc. If I get rid of an ssd in my build, I can get a better cpu and a better hard drive(Caviar Black).
Thanks

R9 280 is the best out of those 3. Yes,i have Caviar Blue and it is serving very well,but make sure you get 7200 RPM model and 1+TB if you can and for cpu try to get 4th generation i5 (i5 4xxx) if you can (only if you have MoBo that supports LGA1150 or planning to get LGA1150 MoBo) or if you cant change MoBo,tell us your socket to tell you the best processor for it. Ask if you need help ^^
