Hi, I am currently looking to buy a R9 280x and have come across a couple.

MSI r9 280x twin frozr - £ 222

Asus r9 280x direct CU2 TOP -£ 229

I am finding it hard to choose between them,
Any opinions?

Only by 20mhz, will it make much difference?

Not Really but for 5 Extra Pounds its not a bad deal TBH , the cards are very similar however u might look at the overclocking stats for both to decide.

If it was a motherboard then I'd say ASUS 97% of the time

Not really looking to overclock. The asus comes with three free games aswell, so it might not be a bad choice.

It will do but CX is alittle bit of Hit or miss however 600W should be sufficient
