So Frys is selling the Asus R9280X-DC2T-3GD5-V2 for $319.99 + tax so comes to around $346~. Is this worth it? I will be litecoin mining somewhat 12hrs a day. Gaming maybe 1-3 hours in a week.

Supposedly there are two versions and this is the older version. Newegg has the newer version (v1) and a lot of reviews are stating artifact problems. If anyone has the v2, can they confirm about the artifact issue? and overall are there any other issues with this card such as over heating? I have the NZXT Source 210 S210-002 Case with 3 120MM case fans. Would this card fit inside?

Thank you for all the help!
