I need a different video card

The AMD R9 series is ridiculous

if you can afford the 270, get it

I know the time when they were $300 (as much as the R9 280x originally was) each...all those jealous miners like me hogged them! Ha ha.
Anyway, I prefer AMD cards because you can always make money off of them when you are not gaming.

If you can spent $20 more get the 270x

Or you can overclock a R9 270 non-X by 10% and you get the same result.

Or he could get the r9 270x and overclock that by 10%
Or maybe he doesn't feel comfortable overclocking

No. The R9 270x is identical to the R9 270; it's just clocked to 1050 MHz instead of 925. So to achieve the effect you're talking about, you can take a R9 270 and OC it by 25% (to 1155 MHz).
