Trying to figure out which one of these cards to get, I really just want a answer that is the most relevant to the cards, I don't really need to or care for going with anything higher or getting a nvidia card, because what I do for a living only works well on AMD cards. So anything other than a 280x is completely off the table.

These are the cards that I found within my budget of around $300

I really would like to know which one of these cards to get, I also think the gigabyte card is within my budget also.

XFX Has the best Custom Coolers out there and also has a core clock of 1050MHz which should be great core clock. Also Lifetime Warranty is quite nice

All of the cards look to be the same on Newegg, but Superbiiz shows the Engine Clock for XFX boosted clock to be 1080 vs 1050 on the MSI and 1020 on Sapphire. Also Superbiiz shows the memory clock at 6.2 GHz as well vs 6.0GHz for the others.

I don't recommend the Sapphire one unless its the only one you can afford

I have the R9 290 and my friend owns this R9 280X: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CNeoxO...

Sapphire and XFX have awesome Custom Coolers like Luca said. This particular Sapphire R9 280X comes with 3 fans. Keep in mind, the 280x and 290 cards run very very hot! This card has served my friend well, and never exceeds 50 C.
