Debating between a couple of Graphics Cards!
Help me out here!

My processor will most LIKELY be the Intel Pentium G3258 so keep that in mind!
Out of these which will provide me with the best performance in response to their price:
1. MSI GeForce GTX 660 2GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

2. EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti Superclocked 2GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

3. Sapphire Dual-X Radeon R9 770 GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Those are the 3 that I am MOST interested in! Feel free to let me in on some more recommendations! I am OVERALL trying to keep this build under $500-$550.

Thanks!

One more question if you don't mind, with the Pentium G3258 & the R9-270 (8GB RAM), how well would it be able to run games such as say BF4, and other top quality games at different settings.

should go very well I have the g3258 @ 4.5ghz and a gtx 660 and I have no troubles in all my games just expect a freeze every now and then. the freeze is only for 2 secs at the most and I notice it doesn't happen when playing online which is a bonus

If the games are lightly threaded, it will be a beast. But with today's games, 2 cores is a bit of a handicap. It won't be a slouch, though. But lacking the 4 threads that its big brother the i3 has, it will have to do more work with only 2 threads at its diposal.

I would go with the gtx 660 because I have it overclocked slightly and I am able to play watchdogs high texture settings and ultra everything else with vsync locked at 30 fps no problem.
I also have the G3258 oced to 4.5ghz

Ah .... links working again I can see the card now

Using outta the box over overclocked ?

The 270 is about 4 % faster than the 660 when both at stock .... with both overclocked, that gap will narrow or disappear.

I think it was a typo. The link goes to the R9-270.
