SAPPHIRE 100363TXSR Radeon R9 280X 3GB: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202044

Unfortunately the Sapphire R9 280x is on back-order for most major retailers but I don't mind waiting it out.
I could really use a second opinion on the above configuration. I don't rebuild often (4-5 years) so I'd rather spend the extra money to do it right. As noted above, this will be almost entirely for gaming, starting with BF4.
Thanks!
