Defently the Sapphire card, this is the "X" version which is faster than the non-x which the Gigabyte one is.
Even if you where asking to choose from the R9 270X Sapphire and R9 270X Gigabyte (not the R9 270), you should still take Sapphires card. ;)

one more thing, MSI r9 270 or the sapphire r9 270x only wondering as people say you can OC the r9 270 to become a 270x, plus all the msi software I really like, so which one do you think would be better

Still the Sapphire, You might be able to overclock most R9 270s to 270X speeds, but the R9 270X will just go above that if you also overclock that (which is the only fair comparison). Sapphire knows what they're doing and are the AMD version of EVGA (in my opinion atleast), the card is faster and will overclock to higher scores/fps than a overclocked 270.
As said before i would even choose the Sapphire over almost any R9 270X, so any 270 vs Sapphire 270X is an easy pick ;)
