I can't make a decision which R9 to get as I read these cards fail, have heat problems etc. The Sapphire one seems good but is a bit.expensive. I was thinking something like the MSI or Gigabyte one. How good is msi of a brand? I've only used Asus and Gigabyte

I'd get the XFX. They also have really good customer support I believe.

MSI makes good products, but terrible customer support.

Thanks, I hear Gigabyte has high failure rates of the R9 290 and gives out more heat.
Still deciding though, because with my luck the prices will rise when I do.make a decision
