I'm in the process of making the final decision for my build but after going over it one more time I'm stuck between choosing from a GTX 760 or a R9 280.
I will be running the GPU at base clock since I'm barely in the midst of learning to OC and dont want to risk my components.
My question is. I've seen that the 280 outperforms the 760 but every 280 I can find on Newegg, Amazon, etc is like 150+MHz lower than the 760. Does this affect the GPU in any significant way? I'm new to this and dont fully understand how clock speed works
EDIT: Here are the two cards I'm thinking of choosing from
GTX 760 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DIH8OW8/?tag=pcpapi-20
R9 280 http://www.amazon.com/MSI-R9-280-GAMING-3G/dp/B00JJNQ99U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1402742999&sr=8-1&keywords=MSI+r9+280
