Im planning my first build and want to buy the parts within this week. I was originally going to go for:

CPU: AMD 8350
Graphics card: Gigabyte 7970 3GB
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3
RAM: 8GB Corsair vengeance
CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 EVO
Power supply: Corsair 600M

And the gigabyte 7970 was on for £235 at overclockers but they have taken it down so now its only up for £270 on amazon. The r9 280x is up for £235 on dabs.com. Should I go for the 280x or the 7970? (both gigabyte). Thanks in advance,

Ziimzy. :)
