Hey guys.

I've recently managed to save up some money to upgrade my current gpu, which is a GT 440 from nvidia (i know that it's an old relic), and i can't decide if I should buy the Sapphire R9 270x or the EVGA gtx 750 ti sc. Their prices don't differ so much in my country, the gtx 750 costing 186 US dollars and the R9 270x costing 191 US dollars.
Links so you can see their full specs:
EVGA:Gtx 750 ti
Sapphire: R9 270x
I will be using it for gaming, so I do want to be able to run most of the recent games at a decent fps on medium-high (or even high).
I know that the r9 270x consumes more power, but the power consumption is not a problem for me.

My current pc specs are:
CPU: AMD FX 6300 @3.5 GHz
Mobo: Asrock 970 Extreme 3 R2.0
Ram: 8 GB HyperX fury
HDD: 1Tb Western Digital
GPU: nvidia GT 440
PSU: 500W Raidmax cobra

I know that many threads have been opened on this theme, but i couldn't find one that had these types of gpus.
My budget is limited at these 2 gpus so I can't buy anything that is more expensive.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Yes, but considering the "500W" PSU he has he'd be better with the 750TI. I'm assuming it only has a single 6pin PCIe plug? I doubt he has the wattage to run the 270X.

Yes it only has one, unfortunately, but I will change it if I were to buy the 270x.

The R9 270x is the better card, probably closer to a GTX 960.

I actually built a budget rig for my cousin and it has a 270x and a 500w power supply, but the 270x does need two 6-pin connectors.

I think the GTX 960 is a clear cut better than an r9 270x.

That aside, I had an R9 270 and thought it was relatively weak, in the same ballpark as the 750ti. I would say get the 750Ti, some (possibly all) of them don't even require a power cable from the PSU. With TDP of 60 watts. So you could upgrade to the 750, and have much better performance without a new PSU. Whilst the 270 is better, it will cost you more with a new PSU, for a small difference in performance.
