well ive been bouncing around WAY too much when it comes to building a PC and i finally found a build i like and isnt ridiculously expensive and many people have been telling me dont get the Gigabyte Radeon R9 270X 2GB Video Card and i should get the Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870 2GB Video Card. what do you think? heres the build link so theres no compatibility issues.

I'm still learning when it comes to pc builds, we all gotta start somewhere, but Im sure 8gb of ram will be plenty for what you want. Also took away the 6350 as *Correct me if I'm wrong* but all it is, is a factory oc 6300? Gave you the msi 270x hawk as it was recommended to me by someone with good knowledge from the forums. All together it was 34 bucks cheaper.
I would still wait from someone with more knowledge to come by and check b4 you do anything

The 650w psu I listed might be a little overkill not sure tho, but here is an xfx 550w that "should" also get the job done.

Just my two bucks, you can save in a few places.

Ram is faster. SSD has faster write speeds(slightly faster write and slightly slower read but costs around $40 cheaper). The R9 280X will run most games at max settings. Switched out the motherboard with an equally as good one.
It's cheaper and has better performance then the original post.
