So my original plan was to get a R9 270 but the R9 265 is basically the same and cheaper but I was just wondering if I get a card that runs the same but cheaper or something what runs better for the same price (£140 - £150). Yes I could just go on PCPartpicker but I don't know alot about nvidia cards because I am a bit of an AMD fan boy so yeah.

Ill probably just go with the R7 265 tbh.

Also i posted this over on the LTT forums so if you want to check it out,http://

They are all decent. You should choose the one you like the most.

The R9 270 Especially the MSI version gives you 270X performance at a click of a button , after overclocking it which is very simple you get a 270x performance.

Generally the R9 270 is the best card in this price point as it can be overclocked easily to reach 270x performance.

You're not that far off from a R9 280 which is another choice:

The price is decent enough. The R9 280 can run ultra settings at 1080p a bit better than the R9 270/ 270X. Overclocking it will yield more performance.
In my opinion, if you have around £150, i would suggest the R9 280. If you had £130, then the R9 270.

Before getting Windows 8 retail price, ask around your school IT department if they can give you a license if you know someone in that department.
If not, you can get the Window 8.1 Student from Microsoft, as long your school is on their list.

I live in London.

So if your budget really can't make it past £150 for your gpu, then either R9 270 or R9 270X will be fine. It down to your choice if you want a cheaper card and you overclock it yourself or get a R9 270X which is a higher binned R9 270 essentially. Both are overclockable.
If possible consider the XFX R9 280, the price is decent. Last year for £150 you would only get a R9 270.

The MSI R9 270 is pretty decent enough. It quiet for me at idle. The card performs as expected and I running it at 1120Mhz and 1400Mhz with the 14.7RC3 beta driver.
Temps are good. Idle 26C and max 65C. I could have overclocked it further but with the fps I get I already happy with that.
