Reddit reviews Sapphire Radeon Vapor-X R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 DVI-I/DVI-D/HDMI/DP with Boost and OC Version (UEFI) PCI-Express Graphics Card 11217-00-20G

You can have current gen graphics for 230 USD. http://amzn.com/B00G36G9ZA
What are you complaining about? Prices/performance ratio was never better.

Spend a 100 bucks less and you still get a good enough for gaming card.

$230. I'd even wait.

The R9 270 and 270X are basically updated revisions of the HD 7870 with faster core and memory clocks.

And don't be put off by the name Sapphire as they are among one of AMD's most trusted and dedicated AIB partners. Their Dual-x and Vapor-x custom cooling solutions are good.

I can't comment on their customer services though, since I've never had to deal with them.

OR this?

I second the 270x. Great performance for the price.
