Looking for a better video card without much $$$

[LambentTyto]

I'm building a rig, and buy shaving down the cost in a few areas (and poddibly more in others) I'll be under budget by $35.

My Chosen Video Card - $210
ASUS R9270X-DC2T-2GD5 Radeon R9 270X 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card

So I've got $35 extra to spend, and not a penny more! Is it possible I can get a better video card for that? Truthfully and Asus chip seems weird to me (I'm a complete noob so that doesn't mean much) and would prefer an AMD or something my NVidia.

Can you all help?

Okay. I clicked EDIT but I don't see any options for deleting this thread though.
