Wow thanks for the fast reply, also if I overclock the r9 280x when I am forced to drop the settings to low with no AA would I get better frames.

 


Yes, overclocking does bring better FPS.

Also overclock both the VRAM and the GPU, it will yield better fps than one or the other.

It depends on the overclock, but with a GPU that strong you shouldn't need to think about OC'ing for at least the next couple of years. My 270X runs every game in existence ATM at maxed out/very high (no AA) at 1080p without lag.
 


speaking of overclocking, make sure you also get the factory overclocked r9 280X. It will also make your card last longer then you can overclock it to get even more life out of it. Then you can crossfireX it to get even more life out of it!! :)
