Buying a new mid range graphics card, and I've narrowed it down to these two choices. The only problem I have with the r9 270 is the reliability. The GTX 660 ti looks like a good choice too, although it costs a little more. I need a reliable card, but I am on a budget. Suggestions and answers are appreciated.

It costs $199.99 on Newegg, although it is refurbished. Should I be worrying about that if I do buy the 660 ti?
