If you can get a good factory overclocked (non-reference) R9 270 for the same price, that would be an even better deal.
With a non-reference R9 270 you're actually getting the performance of a R9 270X, but with none of its drawbacks (power consumption and noise).
The ASUS model is a good chioice, since it features upgraded components and a superior cooler, so you can overclock it further and still have a cool and quiet PC.
MSI also makes good non-reference boards.
