Just choose the cheapest one. The main difference with all the different R9 280x is the cooling system. Some are quiter while some can keep the GPU cooler. But your other parts and applications could also cove the noise made by the GPU, so to save all the trouble, buy the cheapest one. You would have to read more reviews for the different cooling systems. It may vary for your PC.

don't let higher clock speeds attract you, you could always overclock it yourself. There is many software out there to help you to do so. but I don't recommend you overclock. You won't see a big difference in your games anyway.

No. The R9 280x is a rebranded HD 7970. They are both the same.but the HD 7970 comes with 3 free games. If you have more money , then the GTX 770 would be a better choice. It comes with AC black Flag, Splinter Cell Blacklist, and Batman Arkham origins. It's performance is also similar to the HD 7970, but it consumes less power

What about mantle, will it be supported by the 7970 GHz? The say that mantle will replace direct x ending up in better frame rates and better overall quality.

I wouldn`t go for the GTX 770 because of its 2 GB of VRAM.
I know that there are 4 GB version but price/benefit drops
