I'm not really tech savvy and this is my first build.
Radeon R9 280X

Radeon HD 7970
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/powercolor-video-card-ax79703gbd52dhv3

7970 comes with three free games
r9 280x has no offers.

I've heard the r9 280x is better than the 7970 but it's actually 50$ more so I want to to know if the 50$ more is worth it.. I'm going to buy a CPU Cooler either way so if that helps. Also if it just so happens you find a good deal like free games e.t.c or cheaper for the R9 280X, please link it! Also, again, can some one help me find a good psu for my build? Link:

Solution
The 280X has higher stock clocks, but you can just overclock the 7970. With the lower price AND the games, I'd recommend the 7970.

ehh I play all games really. Battlefield 4 is appealing to me right now. Battlefield 4 is like a benchmark for me, If I can play a game like that at very high quality e.t.c I can play most games at the same or higher.
