I agree about the mid-range multi-card setups. I am currently using two gtx660ti's (upper mid level cards. slightly more powerful than a 270x or about the same in some cases) in SLI. Yes the performance is great in games that have good SLI profiles, but when you go play an indy game or a games without a good SLI profile you are just stuck with a single mid-range card and its frustrating. For this reason I am looking to go back to a single high end card setup. I completely understand where you are coming from.

Then you would have to lose the 270X and get something along the lines of a 290.

Single VGA is always better than Crossfire/SLI reasons :
1.Not all games are compatible with SLI/Crossfire and gains are minimal on such cases and you gotta wait pretty long time for its driver profile
2.It Produces more heat . needs more PSU and sometimes its not stable .
GTX 980 and AMD 290X are great upgrade options . take a look at their benchmarks .
So you really want OP to throw out his/her perfectly good 270X? Wow...
