Thanks for the help! :D Is the Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X 3GB better than the asus?? I keep reading that the asus is quieter and has better cooling but i'm new to all of this so I may be wrong

Thanks! I'll be playing games like Assassins creed 4, Tomb raider, bf4, Skyrim, portal 2, stanley parable, possibly arma 3, etc. Mostly new popular games but I'm moving from console so i'll slowly discover more cool pc games!
