Hey,

this is my first build and I'm being a little picky but its probably going to be worth it.

I'm using this build...

Total NOT including already purchased - $560

I need a GPU and i have about a $250 and these two are what I found

1) XFX R9 280 - http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1642&products_id=27107

2) SAPPHIRE R9 280 - http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1642&products_id=29623

PS I can only purchase things from PCCaseGear and I'm NOT looking at overclocking for a while yet
 
Solution
Clock speed isint always a better, for example a 800 MHZ gpu can be better then 1100 MHZ gpu on the same platform. Sapphire cards last longer, have better cooling and offer more features.
