Which is better for me? My budget on my PC is £580. The 280 is more expensive, but has 1GB less VRAM.

I'm using an FX 6350 CPU, OCed with the 212 EVO. 8GB 1866MHz memory. BitFenix Ronin. ASRock 970 Extreme mobo.

R9 280:

R9 280 is better, look up some benchmarks, the 2Gb vs 4GB versions of 270X hardly make a difference, unless you plan to CFX in future. And 280 is better than 270X in every dept. 270X can't by itself use the 4GB VRAM provided to it, it's just not powerful enough.
