All in the question! :D
Would Powercolor brand perform well? I've for all brands and found that they have a little clock speed difference.But i could only find Powercolor brand in local stores.So should i get it? And also the other brands are priced high! So, should i go with Powercolor R9 270x ?

It should be okay. I found some reviews with the Powercolor R9 270X PCS+. The TurboDuo model is probably not quite as good, but should still be okay.

no the powercolor r9 270x is the worst one there is a reason and that is from overheating issues , sapphire is a good brand and their customer support is good so if there is a problem it can be fixed in to time and is cheaper that is if your in the us

The 270X is a GPU that released late 2013 around the time the current consoles released. Although providing very strong performance for its value, there are currently GPUs that would be better for just as cheap. Sapphire is widely considered one of the biggest and highest rated brands for AMD GPUs. As others mentioned, the R9 280/ GTX 960 / R9 280X and GTX 970 are much better choices. Back when the 270X released the only alternative was the GTX 760 which performed competitively with one another.
