I have chosen the R9 280 for my new gaming computer build and have come to two options.
The MSI R9 280 is regular $280 but after discount and rebate is $205

The ASUS R9 280 is regular $230 but after discount and rebate is about $190

Which one is better? I know they are both R9 280's and will be very similar but the MSI one is regular $60 more so is it any better in cooling or performance or sound? Thanks

The MSI has a higher pre-OC on it, the Asus OCs very well and runs cooler, so I'd go the Asus
