- kingston hyperx 120gb
- seagate baraccuda 1tb

- case tower haven't choose yet
- i'm going to use my led tv 42" 1080p until 4k monitor drop price $300-$400

1. please tell me which one is good to buy msi r9 280x or r9 290 gaming 4g ???

Solution
Due to the widespread 290 powertune throttle on the core the 280x can outperform the 290 in many situations.

My Sapphire 280x, wipes the floor with the 290 msi gaming edition.
