for a build with a i5 4670k do you think it would be better for an R9 280x with 3GB or MSI 770 with 2GB?

770 without a doubt. 2GB+ is only needed when running more than 1 monitor.

270x is a great card but the 770 is even better.

The 280x will favor BF4 but id go for the 770 as is performs slightly better in most games compared to the 280x

Not really. As I said before, you can play on 1080p with 2GB and you'll be fine. Unless your running multiple monitors then 2GB will be plenty
