Hey everyone so I found a R9 270x 2GB for around 90$... what kind of fps would this produce?
So what kind of performance from these cards worst to best..
Any of these a really good buy?

R9 270x @ 90$
Nvidia gtx 770 2gb @ 145$
Xfx radeon 7970 3GB for $195

Both visiontek radeon cards
7870 2gb 100$
7750 2gb ddr5 @ 149$

Asus GTX 960 OC'd 4GB $170
R9 380 super oc'd 4gb @ $ 208

Zotac cards
Gtx 970 4gb 256bit @ 219$
Gtx 980 4gb 256bit @ 279$

Really want to spend as little as possible maybe stretch to 150$ budget. But if the r9 270x will perform i will use it for a few months then upgrade. If any of these are a steal of a deal i dont want to pass them up.

Thanks for the help.
I have done a great bit of research but i dont want to miss a good card or get a card not compatible with new games.

the only good buy there is the r7 270x and if its the 2gb model even then its not great as the rx 460 is coming out and will be around that speed for around 100-120$
so the 270x or nothing

Should i go with a i3 6100 or fx8320e both with decent mobos at the same price of 175$ going to overclock both..
Asrock z170 pro4s for the i3
And a msi gaming or asus 93 mobo for the fx

if this is for gaming get the i3 as its got two powerful cores but if its video editing then the 8320e and a few other things
whats your max budget for a system?
and how much cheaper is the fx 6300 over the 8320e

The fx8320e is 89.99 plus 40$ off a mobo
The fx6300 is the same price... same deal
I can get a decent mobo, fx cpu and fan/cooler for around 175$ which is a good buy,
or the fx 8350 black edition w/ wraith cooler for for 149. Plus mobo makes it around 200...

The i3 6100 with asrock z170 pro4s is 174.99
109 for cpu and 30 off of the mobo makes it 65.
Or just go for a i5 6500 with the asrock for 245
i can get a gigabyte h110m/ i5 for 210$


I am only trying to buy because of the deal on the cpu mobo combo deals.. and my laptop crashes trying to watch you tube. I dont want to loose whats on my laptop. Photos work videos ect..
This will mainly be a work/ general use pc, plus some gaming... i edit short videos lightly, not enough to really consider, i can always upgrade parts in the future, a few months
I want to go with the z170 to be able to over clock a little maybe ... but the h110m is 20 cheaper...
As you can see my problem... i keep going to more expensive options. That honestly i probably don't need. Money saved can always go to gpu or something else...
