270x would be the best choice out of them.

agreed, the R9 270X would be best, but best value for money is the R9 270, just an underpowered 270X for a good amount less. the performance difference between the 270/X is not much, but the 270X is better of course.

Even the 270x wont be able to on some like watchdogs (which require 3gb+ Vram), but it will still perform well on high.

I've had both the 270x and the 660.
I'd go for the 270x.
You'll be able to play a lot of games on high, with a few tweaks (lower shadows, terrain detail, and such)
and still have more than acceptable fps.
I had no problem running watch dogs on the 270x.

unless going crossfire down the road, the 4GB Model will be of no use to you. I have explained this many times but if you need the reason why, I can explain.

The R9 270X 2GB Toxic is what you want, especially if no crossfire.
