So I want to buy new graphic card,but I can't decide between these three.


VTX R9 280X - 347$
R9 280X Sapphire VAPOR-X - 416$
ASUS Radeon R9 280X TOP - 392$


Also what is difference between kingston hyperx 1600mhz beast vs kingston hyperx 2133mhz fury? Is the second one faster?

For the video cars, they are all the same and I'm pretty sure the VAPOR-X is just an over clocked version of the other. If they have the same cooling, you can reach the same over clock so go with what ever gpu brand you like that sells 280x(mine are MSI, Asus, and sapphire).

RAM is special since higher bandwidth doesn't necessarily means it is faster since if it is clocked at a higher speed, then it will most likely have a higher cad latency. Unless if the 1600mhz is priced the same as the 2133mhz, then go with the 2133mhz, but you might get 1 fps for gaming by going with a higher clocked RAM.
