Hi! :) 
Im from The Phillippines, and Im very confused on picking the correct graphics card.
My budget is around 360 Dollars. I'm planning to buy Sapphire r9 280x vapor x, but I saw r9 280x from XFX and it is much cheaper than vapor x.
So what are your recommendations? Or do you recommend gtx 760, 770?
What brands offer the best? What graphics card is best for my money?
Looking forward to your answers, Thank you very much :)

If you're the type of fellow to water cool, I'd go with the cheaper option. But if you're planning on keeping the cooler that it comes with, you should go with the Vapor-X. Overclocking on the Vapor-X cooled card will be much less stressful, as the card will be cooler to a good degree.

That said, if you don't wish to OC, then by all means, go with the less expensive option. Don't forget to select best answer!

The 760 performs less than the 770 and the 280X. The 280X and 770 trade on having better performance depending on the game.

Currently the GTX 770 sells for a couple of thousand pesos more than the 280X (but the GTX 770 is still within your budget). I would go for the XFX R9 280X if it is cheapest you can get.

xfx 280x gpu clock speed is 850 mhz and vapourx gpu clock speed is 950mhz so vapor is a Littlebit faster but i will go with the gigabyte r9 280x windforce its same price as XFX and faster than the vapour x by 50mhz..........and gtx 770 is costlier that the r9 280x but also slightly better than the 280x ....
