The R9 280 will probably be still faster by a couple of fps. Why not get this so incase you want to overclock you can go further than the R9 270X.
The Toxic on the R9 270X is way overkill while the Vapor-X cooler is decent enough. It more of an aesthetic card for people wanting the Toxic cooler on a R9 270X.

Clock speed doesn't matter much when comparing different lineups. It only matters when comparing with the same model.
Pixel rate doesn't mean anything. Don't use GPU Boss, its not accurate of the actual performance, use actual gaming benchmarks from proper reviews.
The R9 280 is faster than the R9 270X Toxic no doubt else AMD just cannibalize their products if a r9 270X beats a R9 280.

both of them are way too expensive !
. i found this xfx one http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-Radeon-Edition-Graphics-GDD...
but is it better than the sapphire r9 280 and the xfx requires 750 wattage but i only have a 650 watt:/ will it work?

The new R9 285 is a GCN 2.0 card that means better Mantle support and performance than the 280x which is GCN 1.0. It will have better control over the GPU performance and be very efficient. It will be at a great price as well. Two in crossfire would be great!
AFAIK only the R9 270x, R9 290/290x, R9 295x2 and the R9 285 are GCN 2.0 and can take advantage of all the great features in Mantle.
I've had 2x 280x's and then upgraded to 2x 290x so I could get awesome performance on Mantle. The 280x's are great for DX11 but the new GCN 2.0 architecture were designed for Mantle.

Check out these benchmarks the R9 285 performs the same as the R9 280x which has more shaders but the 285 is more efficient. It's still on beta drivers so performance will only improve!

Here is a R9 285 and GTX 760 comparison.

hi guys i am now able to spend up to £200 on a new graphics card and i was looking at the gtx 770 and the radeon r9 285. so far i have found out the gtx 770 performance is better than the r9 285. however i only have a 650W psu so i was wondering which graphics card would be suitable and the best ?I would save up more for a GTX 970 since you really close to the price point.
A 650W should be ok. What brand and model is it though?

Your power supply is fine. I would recommend getting a GTX 970 which will be fine for 1080p and a good upgrade from a HD 7870. I would say the jump from a HD 7870 to a GTX 970 is better than a HD 7870 to a R9 280X right now.

I don't want good performance now I want it to last. Lol I know the r9 825 has 4K support.

Depends on your needs. Are you simply gaming at 1080p or moving to 4k for gaming? Are you just watching movies on a 4K tv/monitor?If 4k gaming, GTX 970 will last longer. If 4k movies, either gtx 970 or R9 285 are ok.
I will be moving onto 4K gaming soon but at the moment 1080p. And I watch both movies and play games
