I'm wanting to get an R9 280x for my new system and I'm not sure which one I should get. My current choice is the Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X. I'd like to get one with a nice after-market cooler and around or below $330. Any suggestions or information would be appreciated.

Intel processor fits this budget, it's stronger in games.
Added a SSD.
Better quality case.

You had a really good AMD build, but Intel is stronger in games and it's well within your budget.
