I don't think you have the budget for both a CPU and GPU upgrade. Just buy the best GPU that you are willing to spend on at the moment (probably the top one listed there, R9 280) and wait on the CPU upgrade.

The decision between R9 280 3GB and R9 270X 4 GB is hard . R9 280 is 20% faster than R9 270X . 4GB vs 3GB VRAM !? You wont make mistake getting either of them . Since the processor is not of the greatest maybe 4GB VRAM would be better .

Is the 20% faster very important or should I just get the 4GB VRAM one?

Go with R9 280 3GB . If 3GB is not enough for Ulta , it will be enough for High .
