For cooling and quietness, MSI is the best. Both MSI and GB are more or less the same performance wise. Don't get such a high end GPU from His, its not the best brand around, nowhere close.
I'd however like to ask what display do you have? For FHD or 2k, 3GB VRAM is enough, and R9 280X is at par with 770, if not better.
Most likely you won't be planning to get 4k monitor/ display anytime soon, so the 3GB R9 280X will be the best bang for the buck, both performance wise and money wise

I would be gaming at 1080p single monitor and I suppose his is award winning brand . Have you ever experienced with his before?

R9 290 and 280X would not show much difference as both will be 50+ FPS on Ultra on any give game on FHD. And how's HIS an award winning brand? Please elaborate. I've never had any experience with it before but I do know people have had performance issues with it so I won't recommend it.I want to play watch dogs on ultra with textures ultra and other settings too .i was just wondering that these 3 are close in price range so why not get the high end one.

Its not the best brand for GPU OCing, its not that trusted for its cooling either, it has been several times reported that copper blocks for heatsink are not properly fitted. Synthetic tests don't really affect a user too much. Real life reviews do. If you wanna go with AMD, stick to Sapphire/ Asus/ GigaByte/ MSI/ XFX for best performance, cooling, reliability. They're reputable brands with excellent customer support.

It's got the best cooler design and tri x is just regarded as the best model from sapphire, who make the best amd cardsI mean hw much more fps would i get with tri x r9 280x ? is there any video or benchmark in which i can see the difference in performance?
The cooler itself will not get you more fps, though it would allow you to overclock higher and achieve better fps that way.
My msi cooler 7950 allows me to set core to 1100mhz and still have temps better than stock versions.

for the price of all those you listed, the r9-290 by far is the best choice and neither the 770/280x come close. though noise under load does not bother me much since i already have the volume up in games. you could always just underclock the card to get better temps and fan noise levels and still be well beyond the performance of the full tahiti/gk104 chips.

I'd certainly not recommend HIS over MSI here, as both cards are very comfortable on Ultra, and the more cooling headroom (of Tri X 280X) will give more OCing abilites, thus ensuring better performance once OCed, besides being cool too. It may just be a bad eg, but take it this way, I'd get a 40" Sony Bravia over 42" Sansui, no matter how good the Sansui is, no offense.

Best solution
R9 280X Dual X is much like AMD's reference with better cooling. The Asus has significantly higher clock, and better cooling too, which'll mean you have much more room for OCing.

Not quite:It's neither the coolest (that titles goes to Asus or Sapphire Vapor (or Tri) X) nor the quietest (Asus, I know you said that). Its just a good value for money, not the best OCer too.
So you say ASUS is the best choice (I dont like dual-x and other sapphire cards are off budget) ? Also does ASUS combo MOBO - GPU have better compatibility/ performance?

Yes Asus will rock the benchmarks here and is worth over others. No it doesn't have better compatibility with Asus MoBo or anything like that. GPUs are compatible with PCIe gen rather than MoBo, as long as its PCI 3.0, it'll perform optimally on any MoBo, if its PCI 2.0 or lower, you'll have some performance drops (its not a cause of concern with new builds, almost all newer MoBos have 3.0).
