I am planning to get either for this Black Friday/ Cyber Monday. But the thing is, I want these two specific cards because they are bundled with Battlefield 4. It kinda sucks because these are the only 2 cards that are bundled with BF4 and I usually go with MSI coolers because I trust them.

Anyways which one has a better, cooler, and power efficent? I have a OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W but I heard it was a "okay" PSU. Not the best though.

Upgrading from a MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi). I want a nice frame boost from theses and you can also tell I'll be playing BF4. I got a AMD Phenom II X4 965 OC to 3.8ghz. Bottleneck is in question but I hope its not a lot.

alright. Which one would you pick out of the two? They were both R9 280X. Also I would go to 4ghz but it gets pretty hot it already hits 56C so yeah.
