I would imagine it being a good deal. I am currently using a GTX 660. Would the $275 I'd be paying for the 280x and PSU, be worth the upgrade? Consider me selling the 660 for $100 (for a friend).

eh, it will be an upgrade, but not by much. but for that price and that psu included, i would take it and sell your 660 to your friend :)

it is a good deal but a 1000W psu mght be overkill for the 280x. At 1000W the efficiency of the psu also comes into play.

I don't trust the Kingwin brand either. But not from bad experience, just never dealt with one.
Thing is, I'm only using a 520w Dynex psu. So, I definitely need some upgrade. Even if it just a 750w, or even 650w. Something with good quality.

I could get a get a Galaxy GTX 670 for $250. No power supply though. I can probably talk the kid down to $225, but if not, he wants $250. Would I be better off going for that?

Have a look and see if you can match up your psu in there.
