Hi, I'm builing a pc this Xmas and I'm wondering which Radeon R9 280 to get. I was set on the XFX but I heard that it has a slower clock and low oc'ing potentials, as well as cooling problems. So, which 280 would be better? The xfx is $220 from Newegg with a $30 rebate. That's the perfect price for me, but I digress. Thanks for the help.

Highest clock speed from factory (But its huuuuge)
Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon R9 280 3GB WINDFORCE Video Card ($209.99 @ NCIX US)
Cooling solution gives good headroom for manual OC
Video Card: Asus Radeon R9 280 3GB DirectCU II Video Card ($198.50 @ Newegg)

Sounds good. Space wont be an issue, I can remove the 2nd set of 4 drive bays (who has that many drives, anyway) so I can accomodate cards up to 450mm. I'll select the best answer after everyone has shared their opinion. Thanks.
