I would say get the tri-fan gigabyte one. It's cooling is very very good and it comes out OC-ed out of the box and since u dont want to OC it will be just fine. It also depends on your case as the giga one is bigger. You can go for the Asus/MSI one which both are good and are smaller since they have just dual fans.

Usually it really depends on taste man. Go for the one you like the looks of. U're not gonna get wronged whichever card u get since 50-100mhz factory overclock isnt gonna make a real difference.

I haven't. ASUS are one of the most reputable companies when it comes to motherboards and graphics cards and Direct CU II isn't bad. What are the complaints?

I got a XFX R9 280x and other then a few problem with a buggy catalyst have had perfect gaming. Currently playing shadow of mordor, a very demanding game i read and it runs smooth and crisp. Absolutely beautiful game, and very fun if you enjoy those type games check it out.

A 550w is more than enough for his system :) Your system is perfectly fine. Also unless you upgrade your processor it isn't worth it to buy anything higher than a R9 280x due to the bottlenecking from the processor. Also I wouldn't overclock on a CorsairVS as it just isn't meant for that sort of thing.

I am looking for r9 280x cause here in greece its the only card that is the most powerful and within 300 euros reach in the same time.I usually buy from eshop.gr or other greek sites,but i can order online also,its just that im afraid of online ordering,beacause i cant do much if it starts malfunctioning you know.I dont intend to upgrade my cpu cause i just bought it,and there is no need to do that,cpu doesnt do much of the work when playing a game i think
